分析 社区服务意思就是为公众做一些自愿的工作．这还会教一些很有价值的关于公民的责任课程．现在，在美国，重要的服务都是由成千上万的组织提供的来满足需要，而不是由当地政府，或者州政府或者国家层面的．这些活动会帮助产生一种巨大的对公众关心的意识． 在社区服务计划和在校公民教育之间有着紧密的联系．在每个层次的学校，学生会参与到社区服务工程中去．在小学生当中，学生的一个目的就是学习基本的公民价值观，其中包括公平竞争，尊重其他人的选择，还有我们社会每个人的权利和责任．通过参加社区服务组织，很多年纪很小的孩子能学会如何解决问题，作为一个团队的领导或者成员参与工作，会接受因他们的决定和活动带来的责任．而起，孩子们还形成了一些他们自己的社区知识---它的领导，组织，社会团队，和一些公民行动标准． 社区服务计划还可以为学生提供一些学习社会研究技能的机会．这些包括高水平的信息收集、批判性思维、和做出决断的工序和技能．社区服务计划还教一些关于团队讨论、领导和团队合作的工序和技能．通过社区服务计划，孩子们还能学会人们在一个解决当地的问题的讨论中起着什么样的作用．学生还会自愿教在幼儿护理中心的小孩子或者帮助在高级公民中心的人．
