DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCE
While working for Community Service, you will serve a community of individuals who are not always remembered. Some of the individuals you will check on, you may be the only person they see that week. You will develop a bond and give assistance to them ranging from security checks, grant information for the elderly, or many other ways to help. These individuals will be excited every time you visit or call them.
