Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes(for example working for a charity,improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children.

It has been suggested that high school students should be involved in unpaid community services as a compulsory part of high school programmes. Most of the colleges are already providing opportunities to gain
work
experience,
however
these are not compulsory. In my opinion, sending students to
work
in community services is a good idea as it can provide them with many lots of valuable skills. Life skills are very important and by doing voluntary
work
, students can learn how to communicate with others and
work
in a team, but
also
how to manage their time and improve their organizational skills. Nowadays, unfortunately, teenagers do not have many after-school activities. After-school clubs are no longer that popular and student mostly goes home and sit in front of the TV, browse the internet or play video games. By giving them compulsory
work
activities with charitable or community organizations, they will be encouraged to do something more creative. Skills gained through compulsory
work
will not be an asset on their CV but
also
increase their employability. Students will
also
gain more respect towards
work
and money as they will realize that it is not that easy to earn them and hopefully will learn to spend them in a more practical way. Healthy life balance and exercise are strongly promoted by the NHS, and
therefore
any kinds of spare time charity
work
will prevent from sitting and doing nothing. It could
also
possibly reduce the crime level in the high school age group. If students have activities to do, they will not be bored and come up with silly ideas which can be dangerous for them or their surroundings. In conclusion, I think
this
is a very good idea, and I hope
this
programme will be put into action for High School College shortly.
