<p>I've seen several people who list anywhere from 700-1500 hours of community service in their chance threads. I'm volunteering all summer at Head Start and will end up getting maybe 200 hours. How do you get 1200 hours of community service?!? Do you volunteer every hour of every summer? Every day after school? Or are you making it all up?</p>
<p>i agree with you. I can't really see how you do that. I'm applying for volunteering with B&G Club and I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Hey! I'm a rising sophmore and our school only want 20hrs for 4 years but i love volunteering</p>
<p>Volunteering 10 hours a week for three years (minus summers) will do...
I personally prefer other activities but if these kids enjoy community service that much, why not?</p>
<p>10 hours a week is a LOT during the school year. That's at least an hour a day or five hours on the weekends EVERY weekend.</p>
<p>Varsity athletes and students holding part-time jobs probably spend even more time on their respective activities.</p>
<p>People at my school volunteer as counselors at this camp every summer for disadvantaged kids, and get credit for every hour there. They have over 1000 hours.</p>
<p>10 hours a week - a lot if you are also doing sports and the like; compared to sports though? That's nothing. My FB team is about 25-30 hours a week during school, and that lasts till Thanksgiving; then lifting in the offseason, all the summer fun(lifting, camps, 7on7, Three a days, and so on), I will have spent about 1200 hours with football by the time I graduate, and that's just during the season. Add in the year round stuff and all, I could certainly see how you get those seemingly absurd numbers now that I do the math. It really just means that they are replacing other activities with volunteering.</p>
