Mandatory Community Service In The United States

I have been a part of different activities for my community service. I have helped the TLC preschool afterschool with cleaning tables and toys once all the children have gone home. I have also been to the shelly baird school where they disabled kids go for schooling and helped out there with the students doing their work and played games .I am currently in “Dude Be Nice Club” and recently we participated in project night night where we would gather donated security blankets a book or stuffed animal and deliver them to children who have very little in homeless shelters. My community service in this case helped me realize that there are people out there who need some encouragement to help them get back on their feet and realize in life that

What does community service mean? Community service, to me, means bettering the community with volunteering at local places, business, or helping the people themselves. Community services is very important due to most of the things in a community such as parks, food banks, etc. being ran/used by the community.

During my four hours of community service, I did many things such as mowing grass, throw wastes into the dumpster by driving a tractor, and clean the sidewalk by using a wind blower. To other people, it may seem like that there are just light duty work, but to me every work done will make the community look better no matter how light

Politically, socially, environmentally or one person at a time, how will you give back to society? Day in and day out many citizens change the world, or they do just the opposite and make the world a worse place than when they woke up. The article I chose to review is, “Community Service” written by Robert Coles. The article tells a story of college students who make a difference in the world through peer tutoring, an act of community service, and have such an impact that they act as role models for Coles and he begins to do the same. Briefly in the beginning of the article, Coles states that, “students are likely to express their lofty political and social impulses and practical desires to change the world through community service, even if in limited or modest ways.”(Robert Coles, pg.93) We must make an ultimate decision about the world we live in, will we choose to make a difference in the lives of fellow citizens or discriminate and punish not only them but ourselves by not sharing the knowledge we have been taught.

I agree with Ansen that there are two-way benefits towards the person that needs help and the person that is volunteering. When I was volunteering to go to the nursing home and pamper the elderly ladies, not only did the elderly have fun but we volunteers had a bunch of fun. We all had smiles on our faces and wish that we could stay a bit longer. It benefited them because it gave them a wonderful day to remember but it did the same for us. It also helped me out in other ways because I was able to use that service as something to put on my resume for when I need to get a job. In the article Ansen mentions the GIVE Act (Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education) and how “it suggests that there is public support for an expansion of national service” (Ansen, 2013, p.137). This part ties in with the day the guest speaker brought up the service for cleaning up the bathrooms, grass, and streets. Not many people volunteered for this one and same goes for me because in my head I didn’t want to clean any bathrooms because I thought that it was gross. While I was sitting there watching a couple of people stand up, my youth pastor looked at me and suggested that I help clean up bathrooms as well and so I did. When I did I felt like a germophobe and hardly wanted to touch anything but when we were done with the bathroom the owner of the store shook our hands with a smile going ear to ear and said thank

Community service, one of the several pillars outlined by the National Honors Society (NHS), is defined as the desire to work and serve the community in order to improve the conditions for the citizens who dwell in it. Most importantly, those who uphold those standards do so without the need of money, or recognition; they are simply intrinsically motivated to make the world a better place. It wasn’t until I volunteered at an event hosted by the Jubilee Center that I learned the true meaning of community service and charity.

Community corrections is still a punishment that is meant to deter any further criminal conduct because it does intrude on the offender's life. The offender is being reintegrated back into society. When a victim is involved it is important for there to be retribution for the crime and this could be

There is a lot of time and dedication that goes into community service. Some students may say that it is a waste of time. Community service is very time-consuming. There are better things that can be done. Students will find other alternatives that will get them out of doing community service. The students will either join a club or play a sport. They would do anything to get them out of doing community service. Some students are not as social as others. They would rather be in their room alone than be out with others. Some students are not as social as others. Some students find joy in helping others. It warms their heart to help out where and when it is needed. Community service should not be required because it is taking away from their education, and adding more stress than they already

Community service or social service is a mode of punishment provide by the law which the offender can escape imprisonment or fines. Community service acts as an alternative to the harsh criminal punishment. Generally, community service is handed down by a judge or magistrate to the first-timer offender or teenage offender. This punishment can also be handed down in the case of minor offences for example traffic violations, petty theft, and other nonviolent offenses. The offender is required to perform unpaid work or other activity in the community under the direction of a probation officer or supervisor. Among the community work

As young adults, our characters are still being molded and we believe to have an efficient environment each individual should strive to be modified to his or her full potential. An aspect of community service promotes finding individuality and purpose in life. Actually connecting with hundreds who have

Volunteers are not employees. Volunteers serve organizations by contributing time, energies or talents that help to fulfil the organizations' mission. They are not paid a wage for their contribution, however some employers may pay travel and lunch expenses.

Community service is an act that should be done with an open heart. Although it was not recorded I have done a few community services willingly. In high school, I was a part of a program for college readiness, the Upward Bound Program. The program played an enormous role in my enrollment to Florida International University, therefore I intend to keep in touch with them and I would pay them a visit them during my free times. During the holiday season of 2016, I voluntarily helped with the Christmas luncheon the Upward Bound Program conducted for the students currently in the program. It was frankly an unprompted act, I ran into my close friend while going to the cafeteria for breakfast, she informed me that she was going to help Upward Bound

In my perspective, I strongly agree with the idea that everyone has to perform at least one year of mandatory public service. I think this because it will really benefit the nation as a whole. It will show the individuals what has to be done to protect the country. Furthermore, if an individual chooses to do military service it will help the U.S military and the nation overall. The benefits to the United States society for young men making themselves available for public service would be that they as individuals would be more disciplined and mature. I think that it will help them grow physically and emotionally because of us as people we have feelings which play a big role in our lives. It would also help them fully develop themselves and they

Discussing about volunteering to teenagers should be the first step for a better life, since teenagers are the future of tomorrow and they will leave a mark from yesterday. Volunteering has been such an important matter, that schools in many countries around the world established that 12th grade students will need certain hours of community service in order to graduate. But the frequent answers all the schools are getting are “Why do I need to volunteer? I have better things to do!” What people are forgetting is that each one of them is part of a community, a community that is not perfect and that the government sometimes forgets about their problems or needs, because obviously the government needs to take care of other things that require more attention. People are not only helping others, they are also helping themselves (Volunteering).

Community service can be defined as voluntary work intended to help people in a particular are. Community service is normally unpaid work, intended to be of social use, or as a way of not sending an individual to jail or prison, or not paying a ticket. Community service is done normally around a particular area in which you reside in. In a way this can be beneficial to the community, because it is a way for individuals to clean up their own neighborhoods, because who does not want their neighborhoods to look appealing.
