If they have to show up to do any kind of work then they are hired and have to
be paid minimum wage. If they "volunteer" more than 20 hours a week then they
will be entitled to health care coverage. The government will then have to pay
into unemployment insurance for them.

Now "mandatory community service" is a real thing, but it's usually reserved for criminal
who have been convicted of a crime.

While in theory I love the idea of everyone volunteering their time, be it to help the unfortunate, work in the soup line, or maybe even be a mentor, but no one should be forced to do it. That's something that happens to felons.

However, I do think all kids out of school should have to serve at least 1 year doing some sort of service, either locally, with the Peace Corps, or National Guard.
