community groups
Neighborhood civic associations
Community groups are local organizations formed around shared interests, concerns, or geography.
They range from neighborhood associations and parent-teacher organizations to advocacy coalitions and volunteer networks.
The term emphasizes grassroots participation rather than formal institutional structure: Several community groups opposed the rezoning proposal.
Community groups often serve as intermediaries between residents and government or businesses.
