Community organization or community based organization refers to organization aimed at making desired improvements to a community's social health, well-being, and overall functioning.

It is a commonly used model for organizing community within community projects, neighborhoods, organizations, voluntary associations, localities, and social networks, which may operate as ways to mobilize around geography, shared space, shared experience, interest, need, and/or concern.
