Communities and Government

Communities in Virginia have local governments that:
·       Are elected by the people
·       Try to make the community a better place to live and work

Volunteers work to make communities better.

Communities in Virginia include people of many ethnic origins who come from different places around the world.

Most Virginians make valuable contributions to their communities.

People celebrate American holidays and traditions in addition to their own cultural holidays and traditions.
