<p>I know I have started a fair amount of threads but I need a lot of info as my daughters will start applying to college in a few months. I need to know if community service "counts" if performed in the absence of an organization Or group. My D has been helping my friend with a father who is very ill and lives with her daughter who works full time and is full,time caregiver to her dad. These people are economically disadvantaged and the daughter struggles with severe depression also. Well, their house, yard are in total disrepair, dirty etc... think minor hoarders. She has been volunteering time on her weekends to clean garbage out of their yard so they wouldn't get fined by health dept. She also runs errands for her great grandparents who live alone but are weak with many illnesses. </p>
<p>So how do we communicate this on college apps? This was done through no service organization, just on her own. Any thoughts?</p>
