Community Service Act

The Community Service Act is legislation that encourages or requires individuals to participate in volunteer work that benefits local communities. It aims to promote civic responsibility, social cohesion, and address community needs through unpaid activities such as helping in shelters, cleaning public spaces, or assisting with community projects. The Act often sets guidelines for how community service is organized, monitored, and integrated into the justice system, especially as an alternative to detention or for offenders to make amends. Overall, it fosters community engagement while supporting social well-being and development.
