Today MyCoshocton.com went live, which is the video and reader contributed content section of my website EastCentralOhio.com. I started my site initially to prove a point and that point is that any individual can make a difference in their community whether those in charge let them or not. The site is enormous and it's written in a programming language that I didn't know the first thing about when I started putting it together. I taught myself how to operate the entire thing while adding my own content. I've had a few new sign-ups recently but it's still not to where I had hoped it would be at this time. I'm still plugging away and I guarantee that eventually it will reach the level I'm picturing in my head.
You can also improve your community by taking steps on your own. You don't need anybody else to help you initially and once people see that you're serious about making a difference help will "come out of the woodwork". I've met several very intelligent and motivated people with goals very similar to mine when it comes to the Coshocton area.
Don't be afraid to take steps on your own. If you're determined, willing to work at things, and have patience things will work out in the end.
