ASB Community Service ComponentAs a member of ASB, you are expected to complete 5 hours of community service per trimester in a venue (location or position) of your choice. You will write a reflection essay to explain the service you provided, the location where you served, and what you learned from the experience.
Community service is selfless service that you do not receive pay for. Ideally, this service would be given at a nonprofit organization, such as a pet shelter, a food bank, a church, or a small community group. However, because of the age range in ASB, some students might find it more appropriate to help clean a neighbor's yard, help a teacher, babysit for free, or bake cookies to take to a retirement center. If you need to be creative, go for it! Just make sure you get approval from Mrs. Pack if you're not sure whether an activity counts as community service.
