I’ll echo another post on this thread by saying that community service opportunities probably exist with a close relationship to just about any passionate pursuit. For example, the performing-arts student could arrange performances at nursing homes or children’s hospitals… or start a benefit concert/revue/exhibition… or volunteer at a summer arts camp sharing the joy of performance with young or disadvantaged kids. If the student is involved in “several aspects of this passion,” he may already have the connections (with directors, teachers, and other students’ families) that can make this happen if you help him keep his ear to the ground.</p>
