In the BOSS program, what type of projects does the Community Service pillar encourage?

The Community Service pillar of the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program emphasizes voluntary community programs. This focus promotes engagement and leadership among single soldiers by encouraging them to participate in community service activities that enhance both their personal development and the well-being of the communities in which they live. Engaging in these voluntary programs allows service members to build relationships, foster a sense of belonging, and contribute positively to their local environment.

The other options, while they may involve service members, do not align with the core purpose of the Community Service pillar. Mandatory military exercises and service-specific training programs relate more to military readiness and individual development within a command structure. Fundraising for military charities, while beneficial, is not the primary focus of the Community Service pillar as it emphasizes direct involvement in community improvement rather than fundraising efforts.
