Community Service |
Did
you know, that community service plays a key role in your High School
career as well as increasing your point of view of the world. You may
think community service is boring or stupid but for many people, it helps
beyond the point of serving the community; it helps them understand people
from different backgrounds and how to do something small, but with
meaning.
ESHS
counselor, Mrs. Burns said, “Community Service is valuable to
both the individual providing an investment in the community as well as
the local area being served. Serving one another is part of what defines a
community.”
There
are at least two clubs at El Segundo High that are involved with community
service, Key club and Interact. As a member of Interact or Key club you
are expected to do your part for the community and for others.
There
are many types of community service, so there is always something to fit
your criteria. Community service may vary from cleaning parks, to
volunteering in events such as the recent L.A marathon, fundraising,
charity, and worldwide service such as raising money for poor children
across the world.
Another
example of people helping others would be the Mentor Program at ESHS,
which is directed by Miss Boden. The mentor program tutors students in a
variety of subjects whether it is Mathematics or English.
The
mentor program is there for any student who needs help; Miss Boden
said, “Everyone
in this life is part of the team, we all need to help one another.”
Many clubs here in El Segundo such
as; Rotary, Woman’s club, and Kiwanis also perform community service,
there are many places were community service can be performed and may
range from the quiet town of El Segundo to the busy city of L.A.
