Avoiding going to jail. It is a method of teaching that there is a consequence or debt to be paid for a former bad or illegal action. If you knew that if you were caught littering, you would have to pick up trash on the side of the road for 40 hours... you might think twice before doing it. It is similar to the stocks that judges put people into when convicted for a crime. This was meant to shame the person.

∙ 14y agoAny kind of voluntry work looks good on college and university applications. It shows them that you are hard working, even when it is for free. The type of community service you do should be relevant to what course you are looking take, but really any kind of experience paid or unpaid looks good.

∙ 15y agoApart from the benefits to the community itself, or to yourself at a personal level (your own experience and growth, happiness, fulfillment, etc.) colleges look at your community service activities when you apply for entrance or scholarships. Your activities can have a big effect, even if it is something as simple as face-painting at the town faire. Don't sell yourself short, mention all of what you do to volunteer, what memberships you have, and what effect you make. Another aspect of community service is that you meet people you might not otherwise encounter. Social networking is a big deal. It's always good to know someone.
