II. Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are True or False (1 pt.)
Community service allows those participating to reflect on the difference they are making in society. Some
participants of a community service project may find themselves gaining a greater understanding of their roles in the
community, as well as the impact of their contributions towards those in need of service. Because community service
outlets vary, those who serve are exposed to many different kinds of people, environments, and situations.
With each new community service project, some participants may gain insightful experience in a variety of
areas. Participants may also internalize the information that they found personally insightful for future use. While
simply performing community service is valuable to the recipients, those serving often find it beneficial to pause and
reflect on how they are changing society for the better. Schools often take students on community service projects so
they can learn how their individual actions affect the well-being of the public. Participants may find that serving the
public fosters a more solidified view of self and purpose.

2. Participants of a community service have opportunities to make a difference in society.
