G - The world has changed drastically in the past few decades, which has witnessed an increase in the number of young people participating in volunteer service to serve the community. This is pleasing to see, particularly when more and more people are benefiting from the service.
I - ‘Volunteer service’ refers to any type of work that is done free of charge and done willingly such that one is motivated to give one’s time or energy to work towards a project or cause. It is assumed that ‘volunteer service’ is formal in this case such that it benefits a group of people like the needy.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there are many kinds of volunteer service young people can take part in to help the community. Such service is not restricted to helping the needy only, but also taking part in conservation. Over the years, many projects that are based on volunteer service have been organised to encourage young people to give back to society by giving them a chance to do so. These projects can either be short term or long term, but the most important of all, they bring about benefits to both the volunteers and beneficiaries.
