Purpose: To promote the civic interests and community welfare of Ravensworth Farm and participate in civic matters in Fairfax County.
Publications:
- Newsletter: Published the Ravensworth Farmer, September through May, which is delivered free to every home in the Community.
- Directory: Publishes the community directory, yearly, available to residents who join the Civic Association.
Community:
- Welcome: Provides a welcome packet of material to new neighbors.
- Acknowledgements: Acknowledges births, deaths, and illnesses in the community in an appropriate manner (plants, flowers, contributions to charitable organizations, for instance).
- Holiday Decorations: Gives recognition to residents whose homes are especially well decorated during the winter holiday season.
- Scouts: Contributes to Boy Scout Troop 991 and Cub Scout Pack 991, who deliver the Farmer.
- Maintenance: Maintains the Queensberry and Inverchapel entrances to the community and the strip along Braddock Road between them. This involves planting, moving, mulching and trash pick-up, for instance.

Programs:
- Speakers: Provides informative programs with guest speakers three times a year (October, March, and May).
- Yard Sale: Sponsors a community yard sale each spring at the pool, providing space and publicity at no cost to residents.
- Community Cleanup Day: Arranges a day in March when large trash items will be picked up. Just take them to the school at the time announced in the Farmer.
