community programs
Neighborhood group activities
Community programs are organized activities or services offered to residents of a local area, typically by governments, nonprofits, or civic organizations.
They address shared needs—youth sports leagues, job training, after-school care, senior centers, neighborhood cleanups.
The term suggests accessibility and public benefit: The city cut funding for community programs last year.
