Admissions Advice

Does donating your old books to orphanages and count as community service?
Answered

hii! So I'm a sophomore who really wants to attend a good college. My grades are not really a problem but the thing is that the school I'm in barely gives us any extracurriculars so i have to this part by myself. I wanted to donate my old books to an orphanage as I usually do. So, I wondered if it counted as an Extracurricular. Thank you for your time!

Unless you are volunteering your time or services, unfortunately, this would not count as an EC.
