In recent years, more middle and high school students around the world are being encouraged to perform community service as part of their learning experiences.
Parents often struggle with how they can guide their teens to select a community service project that will be meaningful, instead of just having it be something students mark off their checklist or use to complete their resume for university.
If students can get involved in giving back to a cause or helping their community in a way that matters to them, the lasting benefits can be far-reaching. As anyone who has ever volunteered knows, the satisfaction and pride that comes from helping others can be life-changing.
