[[File:Volunteerism_and_Community_Service_in_Ukraine_Photo_Contest,_Sept-Nov,_2013_(10959027806).jpg|right|thumb|Ukrainians doing street cleaning as a form of community service.]] '''Community service''' is work done by individuals or groups of people, to the benefit of their [[community]]. Community service is usually done at little or no pay. It is different from [[volunteering]], as there are situations where it isn't done voluntarily * Some people who have been convicted of a [[crime]] may be required to perform community service as part of their conviction. * Some countries require part or all of their citizens to do military service. For those people who refuse to carry [[Arm|arms]] or to serve in the [[military]], there usually is an option to replace the military service with some form of community service. * Some religious groups require people to do some kind of community service. One example of this is [[The Salvation Army]]. Both people who founded the group were [[Methodism|Methodist]]. In Methodism, [[Charity (practice)|charity]], and helping those in need are very important * In some places, there are taxes to support the [[Firefighter|firefighters]]. People who are firefighters, or who spent some time helping the firefighters do not have to pay these taxes. {{stub}} [[Category:Community]]
