Why participate in community service?
Community service/volunteering is a great way to get involved in your community by sharing your talents and skills with those around you. Our community – our neighborhoods, schools, city – is stronger and better when people reach out and lend a helping hand to those in need. Volunteering is also a great way to learn more about yourself, your community and what you would like to do and the person you would like to be. For example, if you are interested in the medical profession, try volunteering at a nursing home or hospital to get an idea of your future career.
