Should schools offer community service?

Volunteering makes students more attractive to potential employers.
I think that schools should offer community service because it is vital that everyone knows that kindness is a virtue. Taking part in community service teaches students skills that are valuable to employers, like problem solving, teamwork, and the ability to follow instructions. Volunteering is especially valuable when it is related to a student's future career.Studies show that students who give back to the community perform better in school, particularily in subjects such as math, reading, and history. Furthermore, students who participate in community service are also more likely to graduate in secondary school.

I think that schools should have community service as it will help the youth of today to grow up and become better human beings. There are people on this earth that lack compassion and things like helping the community at a young age can change that and turn the adults of the new generation into better people.
