Most of my community service was through the Girl Scouts - I remained active through most of high school, and I'm proud to be honored with the Gold Award. There were a lot of service opportunities through Scouts (one of the main reasons I joined)
My leader and her family were Greek Orthodox Christians, and every year we would volunteer at their Church for the Greek Festival. There's also an annual benefit marathon in my hometown, which we participated in yearly (handing out cups of water with one hand and aleve with the other!) I've tutored and participated in badge workshops for younger Scouts, and been a junior counselor at day camps. I know I've done a lot more than this as a Scout...but these are the opportunities I loved the best.
