[quote=Anonymous]I had to do community service to graduate from a MoCo high school. I worked for pay, too. Volunteering was never difficult to do around my hefty work schedule--the requirements are manageable. The posters, including OP, who claim that volunteerism needs to come from the heart and be selfless and all that bullshit are mistaken. Volunteering teaches social justice, which is the principle that people have a basic right to safety, health, and dignity. Many volunteers help out because it is what they owe to their community, not just because it gives them the warm fuzzies. Sure--if serving food at a soup kitchen makes a person feel good then that's fine--but the point is that the people who come to the soup kitchen have a right to eat. Perhaps, while mom or dad is fussing over the legal minutiae of the SSL requirement, the kid is learning something about what it means to be a citizen.[/quote]
