Community Service should (if possible) be related to degree. EXAMPLES: I have a BFA, so I would be willing (and able) to run or help with most art programs in my area; whether it is a day-care, nursing home, women & childrens shelter or prison rehabilitation program. If I had my degree in Biology I could volunteer with community gardens, or after school programs, or even community ed classes to teach interested citizens my trade @ little to no cost (facilities fees, etc). By approaching the community service aspect from this angle, we would also be able to utilize our knoweldge while helping others learn & grow. At the end of each "session", our hours could be validated either by a previously appointed person or commitee, or by each person in that session completing a form or evaluation.
