Some people believe that unpaid community service should be compulsory in high school programs (for example, working for a charity, improving the neighborhood, or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree? Include relevant examples from your knowledge or experience to support your answer.

These days, unpaid community services are standard, and high school students are expected to engage in such services. Community services include charity, teaching sports to younger children, taking care of the elderly, and participating in cleaning campaigns, in naming a few. I favor the idea that high school students should do community service, and I will explain my reasons.

High school students will soon join the country’s workforce, and they will be the ones who will drive the country’s economy. Individuals doing community service will enable them to understand the community’s problems and challenges in detail. So, in the future, they will know how to be part of the solutions and create for themselves the platform to be problem-solving citizens.

The other importance of community service is improving and developing self-esteem and getting respect from the community. Exposing themselves to the community will create insight for young individuals for their future careers.

In addition to the above points, one crucial truth that everybody should understand is that the community contributed in one way or another to the well-being of the new generation. So the younger generation, which includes high school students, has a moral responsibility to serve the community. One way to pay back the community is by actively participating in unpaid community service.

Organizations nowadays give extra credit to candidates who have experience in community service. So, doing community service is essential for career development.
