hello ,
When I was a teenager, I remember helping the neighbor with her groceries or babysitting for the kids down the street a couple hours for free, but when I was growing up, I don't really remember an emphasis on high school community service. The buzz was largely about getting a job or multiple jobs to pay for the extras that I wanted and my parents would not buy. I worked at Macy's, bussed tables at a local restaurant, and scooped ice cream in the summer. Plus, did a lot of babysitting. Of course, I believe most teens still look for—and appreciate—the benefits of working in a part-time job but also truly understand the personal benefits of worthwhile community service work.
The Personal Benefits of Teen Volunteering:
Develops an increased sense of social responsibility—a global view of society and a heart for "giving back" and helping others.Exposes teens to diversity and multiculturalism.Provides an opportunity to apply academic learning to real human needs.Builds relationships and "social connectedness" with peers, adults, and activists sharing a cause.Improves communication and critical thinking skills.
