What community service actions do colleges look at?
Smile… asked:
I wanted to start a club for endangered species or animals at pounds because my high school doesn’t have one yet. However, people tell me not to waste time with an animal-based club because colleges don’t care about that kind of stuff, only environment and people issues. Well I’ve always had this soft spot for animals and, even though I do strongly care about other world issues, I want to start my own club, be a leader, and help a cause that isn’t getting help. What do you think?
Community Cares
Colleges look at the leadership roles that you take as well as service. Volunteer where your heart lies and take on a significant project, recruit other volunteers, make a difference!! That will get the attention of colleges. Also I was told that Eagle Scout or Girl Scout Gold Star are particularly significant in the eyes of colleges. They incorporate service and leadership.
