To volunteer means to give your time and effort freely to help others or support a cause without expecting payment. It often involves working with community organizations, schools, hospitals, or environmental groups to make a positive impact. Drew might require students to complete 100 hours of volunteering during high school to encourage personal growth, community engagement, and social responsibility. This requirement helps students develop empathy, leadership skills, and a stronger connection to the world around them, preparing them to be thoughtful, active citizens beyond their academic life.
