Community Service Hours


Question Posted Tuesday September 14 2004, 7:05 pm

Okay, well for my Life Management class, I have to work 10 hours of Community Service for free. I'm not sure what to do, I'm really interested in basketball. She told us that cleaning for a basketball team would be considered community service. I was going to ask the local WNBA/NBA arena if I could maybe clean the locker rooms or clean SOMETHING for them maybe 2 hours a day, but I don't know how to do that [ask them]. And they would probably reject that idea. Can you help me think of Community Service Jobs i could do that would interest me? I enjoy basketball, volleyball, and shopping. I also like music.

Thanks SO much in advance for any help!

ask neighbors if you could help them do anything around the house, cleaning, washing dishes, cuting grass, etc...

Volunteer at a nursing home, that's what I did. (Actually, at my school, I had to accumulate a minimum of 100 volunteer hours over four years) Old people are usually nice and almost always lonely, and it'll be a lot more meaningful than cleaning locker rooms. You might be the only person who visits these people, and they appreciate that more than you know.

I think that one great contribution you could make considering your interest in basketball would be to volunteer your time teaching younger kids how to play or how to play better.


You could contact your local YMCA, the Boys/Girls Club of America or a local community center that has afterschool and weekend programs for school aged kids.


I hope you find something that works for you. Best of luck.


Kind wishes,

Hmm..You could try asking them and see what they say and if that doesn't work out maybe you could help assist coaching a kids basketball team, or maybe volunteer at a home who has underpriveledged children and teach them about sports and basketball. I know this doesn't really involve anything ur interested in, lol but maybe you could read to kids a a library..hope i helped :)

Hmm. Maybe you could go to your local YMCA and ask about volleyball or basketball courses for little kids, tell them about your project and ask if you can be a volunteer teacher or helper. Or you could get together with some other people from your class and hold a basketball clinic at your school or church if you go, and invite little kids and teach them how to play and just let them have fun. Or you could be a referree(sp?) at your local YMCA or at your school basketball games. Or even a score keeper.
