Which component of the SkillsUSA Program of Work contains volunteer work?

• A. Community service
• B. Public relations
• C. Financial management
• D. Membership development

Answer: (A)

Volunteer work is captured by the component that focuses on service to others and the community. In SkillsUSA's Program of Work, community service guides chapters to plan and carry out projects that benefit people beyond the organization, such as food drives, tutoring programs, volunteering at shelters, or neighborhood cleanups. These activities are done on a volunteer basis and aim to develop leadership, civic responsibility, and teamwork. The other components—public relations, financial management, and membership development—address promoting the organization, handling money, and growing or engaging members, not performing volunteer service. So the component that contains volunteer work is community service.
