Community service is unpaid work performed by individuals for the benefit of supporting and bettering communities. Community service can be as simple as giving back to the community and volunteering to assist others. Volunteering allows for the people to connect to their community and helps the community to grow. Study shows that volunteers that give over 9 hours of community service per month to the organizations help raise a annual value of $2,600 (Grant, S, Maass, S, .n.d.). This research ties to my capstone because the SMSA Cares funds the community service projects of the class of 2022. The 80 seniors here at SMSA provide money to their communities by helping others with their projects. With the effects of COVID-19, everyone needs a boost. Volunteering can help with developing self confidence and esteem.
