[quote=Anonymous]Damn. Was going to say something else, but it all pales after our Attenborough imposter above. In fact, that brought enough cheer to be considered community service. Anyway, some jobs are basically community service bc the pay is so low. For teens who find a structure to volunteer in, it can be empowering because they find they use skill sets they didn’t know they have. I’ve been a little sickened looking at all the « fancy » start a non-profit community service activities that are totally funded and managed by parents. Reading to a struggling 7 year old at a public library tutoring session can bring more Satisfaction than the reluctant volunteer anticipates. Shoveling walks for your elder neighbors counts. Stealth shoveling is a fine essay topic. It can be repaid in spades ( pun intended) unexpectedly. But that’s another story. [/quote]
