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). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people claim that high
school
 curriculum should include a mandatory
community
service
, which would be provided by students for free. While the positive impacts are obvious of
such
 programmes, there are people, including myself, who believe that
community
service
 is something students should choose to do and not be forced upon. In
this
 essay I will discuss why, in my opinion, high
school
 students’
service
 to communities is a great idea,
although
 should not be compulsory. To start with, introducing high
school
 students to society
service
 has a beneficial effect on both sides, communities and students themselves. We see many of communities struggle due to having not enough funding and,
as a result
, encountering many problems,
such
 as charities running low and our elderly not being taken care of properly. Unpaid
service
 of high
school
 students would not only help to fix
this
 problem, but
also
 would provide pupils with a great way of understanding how to work, is part of the society and help at the same time.
However
, I believe that high schools should include
community
 duty programmes as optional for students to choose and as
such
, award them for selecting
this
 volunteering activity.
For instance
, arrange an exciting trip somewhere nice. Students would look differently at something they can actually choose from rather than being forced to do and would be a lot more motivated. To conclude, I strongly believe that high schools should promote their students to take on unpaid
community
service
 and
consequently
 award them for doing so.
As a result
, we would see remarkable and positive impacts to many of the communities.
