Do they have to volunteer at those listed or can they give hours anywhere? Remember, charity begins at home. I'd say volunteer to mow the yard for dear old dad on the student's weekends home.

No, it's not right but then neither is Hussein making service mandantory. I remember back, many years ago, when my long time boss suddenly "expected" everyone donate a portion of their paycheck to the United Way. I refused on principal and it didn't sit well with him. The working environment changed and I left before the hammer fell.

They have a list from which they must choose and it must be an organization. Helping, say, someone who is impaired would not count.
