Community service Qs

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey there,</p>

<p>So how exactly is a person's community service reported on the transcript? I understand how to fill out if you volunteer with some kind of group, but what if you don't do regular volunteering and do them sort of on a freelance basis. For example, I recently did 24 hours in 3 days volunteering with a church group but I don't do this regularly. How can I report this info?</p>

<p>Also if you signed up with a community service group your senior year, and apply to school in December, but you are contracted under the group during 2nd semester, can you count those hours?</p>

<p>find a common thread-</p>

<p>Another question - if for some reason the college asks to confirm my hours, what if I can't confirm a few of them? For example, the National Honors society at my school lost the sheet of my hours?</p>

<p>Will my application just be totally rejected?</p>

<p>Most won't ask to confirm, but just redo the sheet....that should be easy enough....</p>

<p>by common thread- I mean what connects the volunteering- kids, environment, animals, neighborhood,</p>

5

<p>there's very little connection between each of them. One of them is for environment, one for teen court, one for church, one for kids... very random.</p>

<p>No, you haven't done those hours. You don't know if you'll be able to do them.</p>

<p>"One of them is for environment, one for teen court, one for church, one for kids... very random."</p>

<p>No, they show an interest in people, and in helping people directly.</p>

<p>Community service will not appear on your transcript. That is why many people write resumes.</p>
