The Community Engagement Frontier consists of several topical groups, namely applications, career pipeline and development, diversity and inclusion, physics education, public education and outreach, and public policy and government engagement. The objective is to improve and sustain strategic engagements with our communities in order to draw support for and strengthen the field of particle physics, while playing key roles in serving those communities. These engagements take well-coordinated efforts in many areas where the communities of experts and non-experts can understand and communicate our field’s value, maximize its impact on global socioeconomic development, and open its doors to broader participation. The efforts aim to support and encourage practical applications of research in particle physics and technology transfers to industries, career development and job opportunities for graduates and young physicists, encouragement and inclusion of diverse physicists reflecting the diversity in our communities, improvement in physics education to produce talented and qualified students, outreach to motivate pupils and students, and to communicate the essence and impact of physics research, and finally engagement with governments and policymakers in matters of education and research for continued funding supports.

In the following paragraphs, we discuss the details of the topical groups, define their focuses and priorities, proposes mechanisms to sustain and gauge impacts. We encourage active participation in these topical groups to draw on the expertise of various people. The shared experiences in the various topical groups should inform the development of strategies towards the aforementioned objectives.
