COMMUNITY SERVICE
OVERVIEW

Engaging in community service provides students with the opportunity to become active members of their community and has a lasting, positive impact on society at large. Community service or volunteerism enables students to acquire life skills and knowledge, as well as provide a service to those who need it most. These are some of the common benefits of participating in a community service program

1. Psychological benefits

Volunteering increases overall life satisfaction and helps you feel good about yourself because you are helping others. It can also help to decrease stress and ease depression.

2. Social benefits:

Volunteering engages students with the community, creates special bonds with the population being served, and increases social awareness and responsibility.

3.  Cognitive benefits:

Volunteering helps students enhance their personal knowledge, grow from new experiences, and develop better interpersonal communication skills.
Participating in community service not only makes a difference to the organization and people being served, but also makes a difference to every student’s career prospects. Participating in community service activities helps to enhance student resumes by allowing students to obtain work-related skills prior to graduation, builds good references for employers in regards to community involvement, and provides a forum to network with future potential employers. It also helps students develop civic and social responsibility skills and become more aware of what their community needs.
