a. Working with schoolchildren: chaperoning children on school trips or events, taking part in reading programs or tutoring.
b. Working with senior citizens: visiting residents of a retirement centre, delivering meals, driving them to appointments.
c. Improving the environment: planting trees, helping set up a community garden, cleaning up community green spaces or walking trails.
