My kids have all had to do community service as part of school. If you don't do it, you don't graduate. They have cooked/served at soup kitchens, gone into nursing homes and took the elderly in wheelchairs for a walk or read to them. My eldest daughter who is good with hair actually ended up doing a lot of the older ladies hair in rollers and the ladies felt like a million bucks.
Sometimes you have to force kids to give back to the community, but most of the time, once they do, they love the experience and many continue with it all their lives. My eldest daughter is always devoting her time to one thing or another for the greater good
