A key component of civic engagement is bringing visibility to the value of civic duty and responsibility.  Residents need to feel invested in their community.

​As Dwight Warren from the McKim Center has stated, "people power" can help align community interests and truly make a difference.​

Jonestown citizens help build community wealth by donating their time to the community, especially when it comes to the children. 

​The McKim Center holds both wrestling and track and field programs that would not be possible without volunteer help.  Several parents attend the events and show support.

Jonestown is represented by District 12.  Looking at the voter statistics for the elections in 2016, the low numbers are alarming.

Could voter turnout be increased if Jonestown had a voting precinct located in the neighborhood?
