What does it mean to volunteer? Why would Drew require you volunteer for 100 hours during your high school career?
Volunteering means giving your time and effort to help others without getting paid. It can involve things like helping at a food bank, tutoring younger students, or cleaning up a park. At Drew, they require students to volunteer for 100 hours during high school because it teaches responsibility, kindness, and the importance of giving back to the community. It also helps students build new skills, gain experience, and even discover new interests. Plus, colleges and jobs often look for community service, so it can help with future opportunities.
