<p>I'm pondering what exactly is considered community service. There are certain indirect activities that I can do that I fear may not be seen as the type of community service that universities are looking for. For example, if I spend three hours a day programming an application that will be used to better my schools organization and grading system, will that be community service?</p>
<p>I don't know about colleges, but my S's high school is giving him community service credit for similar work. He put it on his applications.</p>
<p>if it's more formal than not and unpaid and u spend ur time helping others for barely any gain, u should b ok i think.</p>
<p>yeah just put down something like..."Volunteer Computer Technician/programmer"</p>
