Community Service Challenge
August 13, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
I came to realize something over the weekend. America has it wrong when it comes to community service.
When you get in trouble, you are sentenced to hours of community service. Community service should be a privilege, not a punishment.
My challenge to myself, my team, and the readers of this blog is to find one community service activity per month to get involved with. It doesn’t have to be a huge commitment, maybe just a few hours one Saturday morning, but I’m hoping that this small step will turn into a continuous trend of community.
If you have any recommendations for programs, events, or activities for people to get started on, please comment below. We’d love to get involved.

My work with the Girl Scouts has been rewarding beyond words. For anyone who is interested (yes, you can join even if you’re a guy), visit: http://www.girlscouts.org/join/adults.asp

I would also suggest contacting the local chapter of the United Way of America. It is the best organization I have ever seen for giving back to your local community. The local chapter is somewhat of a clearinghouse for non-profits that really make a difference.
