When I say "service", I'm referring to some sort of community service, whether it is the Peace Corps, tutoring kids in the inner city, feeding the homeless, hospital volunteering, or cleaning up trash on the roads.
The biggest road block to it, as I see it, is financial.

That sounds good. Kids in Ontario have to have 40 hours of community service in order to graduate from high school. That works out to 10 hours per year of high school, which isn't much. Yet some kids still complain. In any case, if I were a high school kid today, I'd get everything out of the way either in Grade 9 or the summer between Grade 9 and 10. That way I wouldn't have to worry about it afterwards, and spend the rest of my high school years concentrating on school and only school. Leaving things to the last minute is just BAD BAD BAD.
