What does it mean to be an active community member ?

What does being an active community member mean? Over the last few years, we’ve seen the nation take strides in becoming more politically involved, especially in our younger generations. As people take to the streets for issues they feel passionate about, the best way and most effective way to educate ourselves for the future is by looking at the past. Everyone has a different idea of what a “community member” is, but in its simplest form, it’s someone who provides something back to the community they are part of.

Chris Shrager has long been the an example of what it means to be an active community member- From establishing food banks, donating homes to create orphanages to his current restoration work for the Department of the Interior- he is the example of what it means to give back for over 50 years.
