Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others. It is often
done near the area where you live, so your own community gets the benefits of your work. You do not get
paid to perform community service, but get to learn a lot. Community service can help
many different groups of people, even animals and the environment. Community service is often
organized through a local group, such as a place of worship, school, or non-profit organization, or you can
start your own community service projects. Community service can even involve raising funds by donating
used goods or selling used goods like clothing. Many people participate in community service because they
enjoy helping others and improving their community.
