Community Service
Community service is what we do to improve the lives of those around us. The community can be as small as a school or neighborhood, or as big as a country or the world. Here you'll find information on organizations that provide services and the needs of local and world communities. Students learn about how they can contribute to these organizations ... and learn about students who've created their own organizations to serve communities in need.
