We volunteer at various events in our community and many students sign up but few show up. I understand the idea of tying the event to a homework assignment, but I want them to see the value and the commitment of volunteering. I think so often we as a society expect something in return when we do anything, even volunteering. I would like to see a way to encourage them to understand that when they sign up, they are committing themselves to the event and their community.
