In high school, my friends and I had joined the Bronx Science Key Club, which is a community service club. We admired people who would go to undeveloped places and help the people there. So we did what we could and we donated blood. Also as Dan had said, free food, yay /o/. However this was back in my high school days. However after becoming high school seniors, my friends and I didn’t go to the club as much, and we ended up just hanging out together after school.
Also near where I live there is a Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. It is a club for children and teenagers alike. They have a court outside for baseball and other games, skating rink, sprinklers, indoor basketball court, pool tables, ping pong tables, etc. I went there a few times during middle school for a school trip, and had lots of fun, so i decided to volunteer there for the community service requirement. I walked around and helped look for equipment and helped the young kids. Parents would often bring them there after school or they would come themselves. Then around after 5 pm or so, the parents would come and pick them up. Sometimes I would always feel grateful for having my mom waiting at home for me.
A bad thing that happened was, since I lived in the Bronx, I was actually the only Asian there. People would sometimes just give me weird looks as if I was weird being there. Though I also met some new people, they were just as bad at ping pong as me /o/. I usually tell them that I was one of the few fail Asians that can’t play ping pong or draw 
. They would also often laugh at me. This community service was one of the more enjoyable life experiences. However now I would much rather find a job first.
