Alas!—the summer is (well, almost) here! The trees are in bloom, your sandals have been dusted off, and it is time to go outside and "catch up on your reading." Yet, as much time as I spend daydreaming of sun in the wintertime, when summer actually strikes I am often disappointed by how much time I spend inside. With internships, jobs, and the like, it is sometimes hard to get a breath of fresh air even when there is so much fresh air to be had.
But don’t fret—Community is here to help you! With summer also come myriad outdoor activities offered to the public that also allow you to help others around you. Below are just a few of many such activities that give you a praiseworthy and worthwhile reason to get some rays. So, the next time your pasty boss asks you how you got so tan, you can say it was for a good cause.
