Create Your Map
Download our worksheet and create a map of the different communities you belong to (i.e. home, school, clubs, countries, states, cultural, racial/ethnic, social communities). We encourage you to use different colors and shapes to represent each community.
After creating the map, discuss what communities you feel most connect to and why. Which communities would you like to be more or less connected to? Discuss your roles in each of those communities. How is the community supporting you and how are you supporting them?

Talking to our young people about government, politics, civic duty and community is a big conversation, so let’s start now.
