Yes it CAN be volunteering
Community service IS sometimes the same of volunteering. Some people do use the terms interchangeably. Whether I would or you would is irrelevant: people do it. When you see a description of a fraternal organization doing community service, what's meant is volunteering, not mandated service. For that matter, when you see a description of such an organization doing public service, it's meant as volunteering, rather than the strict definition that's on the Wikipedia page for public service. Look in news articles, articles about volunteering, discussion groups for managers of volunteers, etc. - you will often see people making the distinction between volunteering and community service, while you will see others equating the two.

Adding additional information to 3 sections.
Hello Wikipedians,
My team and I will be working on expanding the "Personal benefits of serving" section, "Court ordered service" section, and the "Religious reasons for serving" section (for now). We're working on this article for an assignment, and I'd appreciate some feedback on our changes. We'll be adding more context or pieces of information that were missing. For example, the "Religious reasons for serving" doesn't really cover any other religion besides Christianity. That doesn't really offer a "worldwide" view when only one religion was covered.
Some information we'll be adding (not in-depth):
1). More context on how court-ordered community service looks 2). Religious reasons for completing community service 3). Other benefits or reasons for doing community service while remaining neutral.
The list will continue, but this is what we have so far. I'll be linking the changes to this comment once they're made. Soldswons (talk) 00:03, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
