Examples Of The Pillars Of National Junior Honor Society

When communities get together, big things can happen. There are many ways I can help my community come together and use leadership, citizenship and service to do good.

Initially, I can reach out to my community through service by getting myself and others involved in volunteering. For example, I could ask for volunteering opportunities around me, and invite my community to help out by posting on a community site, or encouraging my friends and family to invite their friends and family. I could invite people to my house and we could have ice cream before or after volunteering as an incentive. In our community, the volunteer opportunities cover almost every interest and or passion.

Maybe there is a cause you are passionate about that would motivate you to start your own charity. For instance, I have a passion for supporting domestically abused animals like the ones found at the Wild Animal Sanctuary in
