Moleskine: This past weekend, Poacher, Sub Zero, & Jeb volunteered in a joint venture between Habitat for Humanity and Team Rubicon to conduct some demolition at a house that HFH will refurbish for a disadvantaged family. We learned a whole lot about service, sacrifice, leadership, and empathy for our neighbors. However, there are a ton of restrictions on young people performing any work, to include community service, predominantly because of liability concerns, lawsuits, and the negative optics of youth conducting riskier work.

     Historically, youth learned about service and empathy for disadvantaged people by performing community service in these types of organizations, Boy Scouts, and others. Similarly, our teenagers learned the value of work through part-time jobs that allowed them to earn some money for work performed. How can we expect our young adults to understand the value of work, service to others, and empathy for their fellow men if they never learn it in their youth? We should find every opportunity to allow them to learn these lessons that will carry them through their entire lives.

     If you have an opportunity to teach your own 2.0s these lessons or facilitate them for others, it will only help us to build the type of citizens that our forefathers expected.
