Well, I've had to do community service once and that was because I shoplifted from walmart with my sister and got caught. I got 12 hrs communtity service.
All we did was we pulled plants for 8 hours at some park (which realllly sucked) because it was super hot outside and then we helped some old ladies plant a garden for 4 hours.
Oh and we had to pick up trash!
and you have to go in on saturday at 6 o'clock.
trust me community service isn't fun!

I'm sure there are many reasons people get assigned community service hours, but the only two I can think of at the moment are as punishment [for committing a crime], and requirement [in order to graduate highschool]. It's basically volunteer work, to give back to the community, which you do not get paid for. Most people who have committed misdemeanors do it instead of having to pay a fine or having to go to county jail for a couple of weeks/months. My highschool asked for 20 hours, so I just went to the public library and read to children, stacked books, put data into the computer, organized, etc. You can also go a hospital, a soup kitchen, a retirement home, or anywhere else you feel you can help. If you have a job, you can ask your boss if you can do extra hours for free, you can help out a neighbor, babysit for no cost, but be sure to check if these are legitimate with your school counselor. It's not limited to law-breakers and students; you can volunteer your time whenever you please if this is what you're passionate about. Volunteer work looks great on any college application. Hope I helped.
