What is Community Service?
Giving back to the community provides students with opportunities to participate in real-world experiences and can help build a sense of pride. Research from Redefining Ready! has identified that students who participate in at least 25 hours of community service are better prepared for their future careers. Not only will community service be a valuable experience to add to any resume, but there are also significant mental health boosts to helping others.
