October 18, 200520 yr I'm doing some research on involvement of teenagers in community service, and why some people do it while others don't. I'd love to get some feedback from everyone here, so if you feel like posting, I need your: Age Gender What type of service(s) do you do? Thanks a lot in advance from anyone who takes a moment to reply. Fill out as much of the information as you feel comfortable with. Thanks.

October 18, 200520 yr 23 m med school--i actually have to pay lots of money to do community service. oh, and in hs i did a ginormous amt in a nursing home and a hospital...entertaining old ppl, pushing ppl around in stretchers, and checking equipment for y2k compliance--random junk like that. i did some tutoring too...that was kinda fun. as for motivation...i primarily did all that stuff to pad my resume for college apps.
October 18, 200520 yr 22 m no volunteering now... dammit i need something that pays. i volunteered a little bit for the Orange Bowl committee last year and volunteered at a hospital when I was 17.

October 18, 200520 yr I was court ordered to do communitry service when I was 16 for trespassing, illegal consumption, curfew violation, and something I dont really remember. That was my only official "community service". As for right now, I help the American Legion with the adopt a highway every year and help the city cleanup the city diamond for little league/pee wee/pony league games, and help coach the little kids as well.
