I am a freshman and wondering what I should do for community service for college. I know what I would like to do but I do not know what a goo hours is per year. How many hours per year is good and how many would be amazing?
if your school has specific requirements for volunteer hours, aim for about 20-30 hours more than that. if they don’t, aim to volunteer for 20-30 hours at school events each year like open houses or clubs, and 20-30 hours from outside events like those offered at the YMCA. during the summer, aim to get another 10-20 hours more. Aim to get club hours, out of school hours, and in school hours to build a good profile. hope this helped!
I would recommend starting early, when you have time during the school year, volunteer at a animal shelter or a food pantry, any place looking for volunteers, during the weekends. I would say 20+ hours per year are good, but it depends on you or if your school requires a specific amount. By the summer of senior year, you would have a good amount of hours. Also, try dosomething.org and visit online volunteer sites, they can help you find places to volunteer online and in person
