A community is defined through collaborative definitions from 16 classes around the world. It is described as a place where people help each other like in a forest or family, work together like ants in a colony or players on a baseball team, and make a positive difference like in a city or garden. A community involves friends, family, and people coming together in a place they feel comfortable.
