“If you have kids who are “required” to “volunteer” try to get volunteer work for your church or synagogue to count for this requirement.”
That is exactly what I would do if this requirement was forced on us. I’ve also noticed that “volunteering” never seems to go as far as doing something for free that is normally done by a union hack...
I wonder to what degree support for these community work project requirements has been due to desires to de-stigmatize juvenile criminals that are similarly required to do community service.
