Volunteer

Volunteering:

For those of you who want to "give back" to your school or community, there are a number resources available. For those of you that want to volunteer to have something to write about on a college application, I predict that you would not have a meaningful experience. Remember that a genuine, heartfelt interest in helping others because you WANT to is much more noble (and admired) than helping others because it "looks good" on a college application. Also remember that, in the competitive high school market, that several hundred thousand other students are also looking for that elusive "perfect" volunteer opportunity. Search logically, and carefully, and be prepared to do some legwork; opportunities don't usually "fall into your lap..." Below you will find some links that should help you begin your quest.
