Community Service

People are living longer so there are more elderly people. Many young people are doing community service. They help elderly people. They do their shopping. They do their housework. They clean their yards. They even paint their houses.

Some young people work as hospital volunteers. In America, they are called candy stripers' because of the striped pink and white uniform they wear. Others are concerned about the environment and work on neighborhood clean-up campaigns.
