Ideas for extracurriculars/passion projects during the pandemic?
I want to have some ideas for at-home extracurriculars and passion projects to help strengthen college admission. This post might inspire others as well, so put your thoughts.
Something I recommend is signing up to be a virtual tutor! There are plenty of online programs where high school students can volunteer to be a tutor. For example, some allow tutors to teach subjects from Algebra 1 all the way up to AP calc BC, but if you aren't too confident in your math abilities you can stick to younger kids! This is a great way to not only gain volunteer hours but also add EC's to your college apps.
I love this idea! Do you have any specific programs that will allow me to tutor? It's ok if you don't.

I used volunteercrowd.com to find virtual tutoring opportunities along with other virtual volunteering!
Maybe starting a YouTube channel!
I've been thinking about starting a podcast/YouTube channel to spotlight up-and-coming young artists and creatives in my area- I can do it virtually and it'll help me connect with my local art community. You could maybe do something similar and modify it to your own interests?
