If you had to
perform community service, what would you choose to do?I would work with
animals, I love them so much and have already done a lot of volunteer work at pet
shelters and stores.

Had to perform community service? I have always
done some form of community service since the age of 15. I was brought up to believe that
one had an obligation to repay society for its support by sharing one's time and talents
with those who need them. I've served on the boards of many non-profit organizations, from
neighborhood programs to a major NYC service agency. I've worked on a crisis line,
established programs for children and the elderly, been a docent at an historic home, and
held various roles within my college Alumnae Association.

A friend of mine, busted for giving
out drugged cookies in a (college) art class, got
her hours at the local library, checking in books. This sounds almost worth making
weed-cookies for. However, since I realize that I am a burly MAN, I predict that I will be
hosing down the elephant pen or diggin' dem ditches, like my daddy always warned me I
would.

I'd probably choose to work for a no-kill
animal shelter.

"I was an advisor for juvenile
delinquents, I'd stand on the corner and warn them if the cops were coming."- Emo
Philips This sounds about right. Or maybe I'd help out with DARE (Destroy All Religious
Egomaniacs)

I would work in a hospital with kids.
Habitat for Humanity might be fun, too.

Any kind of work with
under-privileged Children.

Paper pusher in a police station, or in a
women's refuge, I think I would find either very rewarding.

I would work at some type of children's
place or something, b/c I love to work with people, especially children.

Although not arrested or convicted, I
currently do working in a community service capcity bringing technology to the masses.
If I were forced to do some sort of penitence for wrong acts, I would gladly do
anyting that needed help or assistance.

At the risk of sounding like a
censorious senior citizen--although there are more
despicable points of view to articulate-- I'm going to quibble a bit with the wording of
the question. "If you HAD to perform community service, what would you choose to
do?" To my mind, everyone owes the community they inhabit some form of service. When
I was paying my dues, raising children, I was an active PTA member and a den mother and a
high school chaperone. I helped out at Planned Parenthood and did nature study lessons
with the GirlScouts and tutored backward students in reading.
At present, most of my community service is
writing checks to the volunteer firemen and the ambulance corps and the two local
libraries and the Rape Crisis Center and the Salvation Army Building Fund. More
personally, for the last 20 years I've managed the financial affairs of two mentally ill
adults. Finally, although my contribution to roadway beautification is limited to a
hundred yards on either side of our driveway, I toddle back and forth, leaning on my
walker and using my extend-an-arm gadget to pick up

Is cleaning up litter an option?

I
actually have done voluntary work with middle-school kids, the homeless and currently I am
working with the Lakota Indians in South Dakota. I believe in helping people in
everything I do, but if I had to perform community service it would be something like what
my friend Doug does. He enables the helpless addicts where I live to get their lives back.
I admire amazing people like him. I offered to be a voluntary Police officer here and I
got called, but my new job and classes had to take precedence. There's a time for
everything.

If I had to perform community service, I
would love to help restore old buildings on main streets, or else maybe help raise money
for worthy oragnisations.
Gavin
I'd work for Habitat for Humanity
Laura, 35
Lowell, MA
I think I'd either like to work with
Big Brothers/Big Sisters or be a mentor of some kind.
Anything that has to do with working with children, basically.

I think
I'd like to try to work with kids who need it for a little while, kinda test out if I had
or could develop any parenting skills. .
