If you haven't yet picked up a copy of "Me to We: Finding Meaning in a Material World" I'd say it's worth taking a look. The book discussing many personal causes and the idea that building your family, your local community, and your global community through small steps (smiling at neighbors) or big steps (starting a not-for-profit organization to benefit your cause) can provide a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that cannot be found through wealth or the gain of "things".
I would love to talk more about my thoughts on this and how it relates to teaching and the classroom culture as well as my new little community (we've recently relocated). However, I am late for a road trip to Big Sky. I will share my thoughts on community-building next time I check in.
Peace to all!
