  Where you choose to help out is up to you?

    That's not the meaning behind the word "volunteering".

      You are 100% correct and it's actually 40 hours of mandatory community involvement. [1] Everyone around me just called it volunteer hours and I co-opted it. Thank you for pointing it out. :) http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/extra/eng/ppm/124a.html http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/extra/eng/ppm/124a.html

  Yeah, it's oxymoronic. They should just call it duty or something, a euphemism is better than an oxymoron.
