Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programs (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 be made mandatory in the high

this
 as it not only helps in students becoming socially responsible adults but
also
 in shaping their character.
Firstly
, community service inculcates a sense of responsibility towards the society, something

 needed to shape a good society.
For instance

Hence

children, which
 is needed to build a better character.
For example

 his family and refrained him from committing socially irresponsible acts.
Thus
,
such
 voluntary activities teach us to value what we have and in turn contributes to our personality development. That being said, we cannot deny the fact that many students misuse the time allocated for these services by considering it as an excursion to enjoy with friends rather than a learning experience. In conclusion,
although
 compulsory voluntary community service has its drawbacks, it is still useful in shaping a child as a socially responsible citizen and
also
 in their overall personality development.
Therefore
, pupils should be encouraged to involve themselves in
such
 activities.
