What do you think about when someone says “Community Service” to you? Well, to me, I think of sitting in a room tutoring a younger kid for a couple of hours a week and fulfilling a certain requirement for school. Nothing wrong with this. I’ve participated in programs like the San Juan Tutorial Program as a kid and as a tutor that survived on the kindness of volunteers, both young and old. I’m just saying this to point out that everytime I hear about a youth doing some community service it’s always for, what would be considered a white collar career…almost always an office type of environment. Rarely have I seen youth gravitate to what is at the core of a good community…cleanliness.
