Many thanks to Sam, coordinator of Citizen Network England, for sharing her presentation with us.
Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others. It is often done near the area where you live, so you own community reaps the benefits of your work. You do not get paid to perform community service, but volunteer your time. Community service can help many different groups of people: children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, even animals and environment. Community service is often organized through a local group, such as a place of worship, school, or non-profit organization, or you can start your own community service projects. Community service can even involve raising funds by donating used goods or selling used goods like clothing.

Some of us held jobs from all the rungs of the corporate ladder. Some of us sacrificed years protecting our county. No matter where we come from, we were humbled due to circumstances beyond our control. Our dreams and fears held us captive. We felt like a burden. Our dreams and fears don’t hold us captive anymore.
