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.
