Any successful modes of enrolling community members in your programmatic initiatives should provide a reasonable answer. Don't dwell on negatives if you think the scope of your work in this area is limited. Instead, answer the question as if it were asked, "How would you get the community involved..." Show your ingenuity and adaptability by mentioning multiple strategies and explaining how you might shift from one to another if your first attempts weren't working.

"First, I find ways to help the community understand the programs and how they will make a positive impact on the entire community, not just on those directly served by the program. I also try to meet the community where they are. If we are talking about a toy drive during the holidays, then I'd advertise where the community is already doing their holiday shopping. If we are looking for volunteers to commit to regular service, I would use social media and partner with organizations that already have a membership or local following."
