You may track community service activities for service-learning courses, for service activities through campus clubs or through the individual matching service provided by the campus career placement office. You may also track service experiences not affiliated with the college. Maybe you coach a children's T-Ball team or assist the volunteer fire department in your community. Getting a college education is more than the courses you take.
Employers are interested in people who have been involved in their community.
Being prepared to get a job requires both classroom and work experience. Organizing a community service project or volunteering in a social service agency provides you with both valuable experience and demonstrated job-related skills. Also, your motivation and positive work ethic are evident when you serve your community. Being prepared to transfer to a four- year college requires more than just classroom work. Community Service participation has become an important indicator to four-year colleges of a potential student's ability to succeed.
