问题： 关于 Community Service 的重要性？

momohe

Community Service 的种类和参与时间 对于报考MBA有多重要。 如果有CS经验，那么要如何在报名时告诉给大学方面？ 通过履历？还是报名时专门有表格填写之前参与过得CS？ 需要什么样的证明？
谢谢！

[Hey there!  It is always good to show some kind of community service.  Especially given all of the immorality that we have seen in the business world lately—Bernie Madoff, etc.  Schools DO want to see that you are pursuing things other than just dollars and cents.  Community service certainly fits the bill.  And you will only need to include the names of the organizations that you’ve joined—you don’t need any “proof” at all.  But schools have been known to do background checks, so you wont be able to list anything that isn’t for sure true.  Just tell the truth, and account for your background in your app.  You will be in great shape!

Best of luck,

这是wiki上的定义，国情有不同，参考吧。

Community service is donated service or activity that is performed by someone or a group of people for the benefit of the public or its institutions.[1]
Volunteers may provide community service, however, not everyone who provides community service is seen as a volunteer, because some people who provide community service are not doing it of their own free will; they are compelled to do so by:

• their government as a part of citizenship requirements, in lieu of military service (such as the practice of Zivildienst in Germany);
  
• the courts, in lieu of, or in addition to, other criminal justice sanctions;
  
• their school, to meet the requirements of a class, such as in the case of service learning or to meet the requirements of graduation, or, in the case of parents, required to provide a certain number of hours of service in order for their child to be enrolled in a school or sports team.
  
• The library
  
• Public transportation
  

There are also people providing community service who receive some form of compensation in return for their year of commitment to public service, such as AmeriCorps in the USA (who are called members rather than volunteers).
If one wants to volunteer and tutor kids at any elementary school, they must be a high school student or older to apply.

如果有在Unicef（联合国儿童基金会）长期做志愿者的经历
算是community service么？
