    Giving back to my community has always felt like a social responsibility to me. I live in a rural area, which can be isolating at times, so feeling close and more connected to my community is important to me. While working at the hospital, I have learned a lot about the medical field as well as various social skills that I would have otherwise not learned until much later in life. The experience gave me a better worldview because the hospital is in the 7th largest city in the U.S. and it helped me be…

    Theoretical Strategies to Engage the Community As mentioned earlier an important component of the MP is the inclusion of community engagement. The reason this is significant results from the fact that gay-positive communities can have an immeasurable impact on both behavior and new incidences of HIV among MSM/YMSM. For example, MSM/YMSM who reside in gay-positive/friendly environments avert the adverse effects associated with stereotyping and discrimination. As such, MSM/YMSM don't feel the need to mask their sexual orientation, which in and of itself can place individuals on a path of high-risk sexual behavior.…

    There are many different ways in order to give back to the community. A few of these ways include money, time and attitude. Money is, of course, essential to living, therefore a huge amount of money would definitely be helpful but not always necessary. One person does not need to give thousands of dollars to make a difference because someone else can give one dollar and still impact the community.

    An elderly woman who got to take part in a high school community service project states, “Many think that volunteering is all about what you give. But what catches you by surprise is how much you receive in return.” This demonstrates why many people do not feel that they should give back because they do not believe the benefits that they can get from it as well. Consequently, when creating that feeling of happiness and satisfaction in someone else’s life, it comes back to the person creating it. Volunteering to help someone get tutored, help the handicapped, involve themselves with a program like Meals on Wheels, certain environmental work, etc., not only does one gain from that, but one’s community has been helped because of them.…

If the Muslim communities allow these issues to defeat them, they will suffer more in this life and possibly in the hereafter. Overcoming the hardships that come our way will only help make the community stronger and more unified. When vanquishing these issues, keeping the Prophet’s sunnah in mind always helps.…
