Do independent projects count as extracurriculars?

<p>So I'm thinking about doing a good-will project in my community. I have no sponsor or organization that I'm working for. It's just an unofficial activity for my community that I created and am doing, for the most part, by myself. I really wanted to do it for a long time, and I might ask my friends to join in as well.
Can this activity count as an extracurricular in my application? Also, if I organize a certain event in my school, does that also count as an extracurricular?</p>

<p>Yes, you can count both as ECs. You’ll just have to write a brief description of the activity, your position/awards, and hours spent.</p>
