Same thing happened at my HS, and it was a prerequisite. But don’t fret as your daughter will be fine. No sane, normal 18 year old takes this liberal crap seriously unless you are a frothing at the mouth Obamaturd. My “community outreach” (that was it was called) was volunteering at the local cop office.
And I didn’t volunteer because it was a cop’s office. It was because there were a lot of hot girls there from the university who also volunteered. ;)
I thought that the slavery thing ended in the 1860’s, yes?
When I was in high school, my community service involved working (a lot) while in high school so that I could afford to go to college (and then, there were no “earned income credits, so these were real taxes). So, does paying taxes to help those “less fortunate” count as “community service” these days? Probably not, I’ll bet.
Perhaps this is an organized distraction to keep the heat off of the glaring problem of teen-age unemployment.
I actually did help out recently at a work-sponsored charity event. Your observation was correct - it is a GREAT way to meet women! Unfortunately, I was not in a position to take advantage of this.
