Community Service Reference Letter Template

A reference letter is a document written in support of a person. It is a positive letter of recommendation by someone who can give positive testament of the character, skills and achievement of another person. An effective reference letter can make the difference between securing an opportunity and being passed on for the next candidate. Reference letters can act as a background check on a person. 

How do you write a Community Service Reference Letter?

A reference letter should be written by someone who knows an individual very well for eg. an individual's attitude, ethnics, honesty, integrity, trustworthiness, dependability, strengths, weakness etc. They are usually written by a supervisor, colleague, teacher, or friend. There are various different types of recommendation letters, but the three main ones are those for employment, for university applications, and character references. A community service reference letter should include:

• The referee's full name and professional standing, including any professional registration, licensure, or membership that conveys this standing.
• How they know the referee.
• Why is the referee suitable for the particular role.
• A summary of the referee's character.

See below for a sample community service reference letter:

Dear {{Name}}, 

I would like you to accept this letter as a recommendation for {{Name}} who wants to work as a volunteer for your community. {{Name}} is a dedicated individual who loves to help others. {{He/She}} is a responsible and mature individual who can be given some huge responsibilities of volunteer work.

{{His/Her}} passion and intelligence make him an ideal volunteer for our organization. In next few months, we will have to terminate some operations that need volunteer work. So, I would recommend him to your organization. I would like him to work nowhere but in your organization. {{Name}} is physically fit and works passionately. {{He/She}} will always be there whenever you need an active and hard-working volunteer.

We know that it will be a big loss for us to lose {{Name}} but we know that {{he/she}} loves to work with others and to help others. I will be happy to provide more information about {{him/her}}. Feel free to contact me at my phone number.

Yours sincerely,
