Community service is a highly valued activity that anyone could participate in. Volunteering opportunities can help students develop multiple skills such as the ability to work in groups or being able to properly socialize/communicate. Many people have experienced positive and beneficial experiences from choosing to volunteer; it gives individuals a gateway to help solve a community’s problems, as well as allows people to be active members of their own community.
