Volunteering is a common graduation requirement for American high schools and liberal arts college courses.

Got to get them nice and docile for corporate drone life while they’re still in their formative years.

This is completely incorrect. It is not common at all (honestly I doubt it exists anywhere) to require students to volunteer work for a damn convenience store, or anything of the like. Some might require volunteering with community programs and non-profits, which has nothing to do with making anyone “docile” for future employment. Keep your crap cynicism to yourself and leave proper volunteer programs alone.

While highly abused, internships are narrowly defined by law as educational and not the same as volunteering. I’ve also never heard of high schools requiring them. Usually a requirement for some college/uni degrees.
