Community service refers to service that a person performs for the benefit of his or her local community. Community service can refer to projects that members of certain youth organizations, such as the Boy Scouts and some high school students perform. It also refers to an alternative sentencing technique in a justice system. And at times groups of people will commit to perform service to the community as a gesture to the larger community, as part of gift economics.
Examples of community service projects include (but are not limited to):
- cleaning a park
- collecting much needed items including clothes, shoes, bottle tabs, bottle cans, etc.
- getting involved with Habitat for Humanity
- reading to older people in nursing homes
- helping out your local fire or police department
Many community service projects are done by sororities and fraternities. One fraternity that was created for the sole purpose of doing community service is Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed fraternity.
