I don't see anything wrong with requiring college kids whom get govt scholarships or people whom go to community college to do some community service as part of their scholarship requirments.

I'd also like to see a alternative to joining the military for college scholarships. Give the kids the option to serve as volunteer fireman, coast guard, police.. peace corps ect,..ect.. I never really understood why the military was the only option in that regard. I also think if they do serve in the Military or one of the other options I mentioned that they should then get a free education at any community or state school.

As for middle school and high school, I think that's pushing it a bit unless they were given a credit in return for the future for their college education. IE if you do 50 or 100 hours community service you get in return 50 to 100 hours of paid tuition at your local community college once you graduate high school.
