Many people will choose to join a civic organization as a way to help promote civic pride and community service in their local communities. Civic organizations are often extremely varied in their range of interest and can focus their efforts on certain goals or values, such as the National Rifle Association, which promotes responsible firearm use, or the Boy Scouts of America, which stresses wilderness survival skills, community service and the empowerment of youth. Civic organizations are usually not directly linked to government agencies and are often run by private citizens who want to make a difference in their communities.
