community service is what you can give to the public . This may be a special skill you what to let other learn from you.

cooking, health advice,physcial education .etc. You can also learn from the peolpe you are teaching. You share idea and also learn from them

Answer 2

We are basically social people and doing community activities lets us engage in that basic need to be around people .  We also get a better idea of what is needed to make our community better.  We also give advice, take advice, help build better realtionships.  For instance barn raisings, schools, fire departments.  All of the social things that make our little areas better and safer places to live in.  Police departments.  All of these things probably had their beginning in helping ourselves and others.  Good Luck
