PROJECT ONE |PAYING IT FOWARD (Exploring the sense of environmental and community engagement as future designer)
Though, the concept of environmental-community service is not very new its importance has developed in the past few years. There are thousands of organizations all over the world that engage and hold millions of young people all through the world. People of all age groups, with a maximum number of youth are involved in the process of community service. Environmental-community-based organizations include; social service organizations, nonprofit providers and associations that engage both young people as well adults as volunteers; youth development organizations, after-school programs, and faith-based organizations. The process is beneficial both for the individuals as well as the society. Environmental-Community service can be defined as a service that is performed for the benefit of the public. Environmental-Community service is a commitment. Basically, community service is a way for a person to give back to a community in which they live. There are many ways of giving back to the community; it can include mural painting on school wall, cleaning and painting of orphanages, building a small bench for students in school, collecting items for charity, or just simply cleaning up a park. One of the main benefits of environmental -community service is that it builds a person’s character. It helps you to work on skills of being able to communicate with people, being able to work on a team, and being able to take on leadership role. Applying what is taught in the classroom to real life problems not only helps the members of the community, it also increases students’ knowledge and skills while helping them find their place as engaged citizens of the world
