text: The advantages are helping the planet and doing things for others. It makes an individual feel like they achieved something, it makes them feel good and have courage. community service is a great way to learn. You can get more involved, outside of school. You can get to know your neighbors or, who knows, you may just be a natural and open a window to a new career you never would think of. It'll give us knowledge that may be necessary in the future! Students should always keep an opened mind and take risks. Even if they don't like "helping", they should at least try it out. They wont know it, until they try it!
