<p>Hello,
I am wondering how I should display my community service on the Common App. I have done 800 hours as a volunteer and assistant in a parish. I have quite a lot to write about it. Where do I put this and how do I display my hours done and etc.?</p>
<p>I would list it under your activities and then it;ll ask how many hours each week & how many weeks. Or if that does not work for you then add it in the Additional Information section.</p>
<p>Yes, create an Activity, then put “See additional information”. Then in additional info, put a header for it and bullet out your information (do NOT write an essay on it, make it concise, relevant, and readable). You probably want to format it in a plain text editor (not Word) and paste it, then print it out to make sure it looks the way you want it to before submitting.</p>
