Community service assignments include the following activities:
- Social, health, welfare and educational services (particularly literacy tutoring)
- Personal assistance, including tax counseling and assistance and financial counseling
- Library, recreational and other similar services
- Conservation, maintenance or restoration of natural resources
- Community betterment or beautification
- Anti-pollution and environmental quality efforts
- Weatherization activities
- Economic development
- Such other services essential and necessary to the community as the Secretary of the Department of Labor, by regulation, may prescribe.
