What is Community Service?
• Making a difference by contributing
something of value – money, skills,
time, advice, or sweat equity
• Helping without expecting something
in return
• Motivating someone to make a
difference
• Taking steps to fulfill the urge or
sense of obligation to stand for
something bigger than yourself
Community Activities
Part of the chapter’s mission should be to
inform, encourage, and inspire the volunteer
within us who believes in making a difference
in the world around us.

to volunteer, go

Community Activities
When you are volunteering through the chapter, not
only the chapter spreads goodwill, but your
sponsoring organization may get the most
significant benefit of all – being perceived as a good
