text: how do you do community service? for hig school. i heard it helps a lot when you go to college how do you get a lot of hours for community service and get credits? contact your local hospital, nursing home, big brothers/big sisters agency, ecology/litter groups, etc.  hospitals in particular are usually thrilled to have students come and help out with "smaller" tasks - i.e. - filing, delivering flowers/food to patient rooms, patient transport, etc.  good for you for thinking ahead about college and for wanting to help out! :)
