Leadership/Volunteer Ideas

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I need some leadership/community service ideas.</p>

<p>It's kind of trite on this site but whatever.</p>

<p>I really want NHS, partially for college, but mostly for cords at graduation. =P</p>

<p>Also, my city has a deal where if you do 100 community service hours to the city, you get a $1000 scholarship. Well technically is 500 if you get under a 3.5 weighted, but I have nearly a 4.0 weighted.</p>

<p>I was thinking of going to an elementary school (perhaps the one I went to) and volunteered to teach kids computer basics after school, developing lesson plans and stuff. I need enough (like 50 I think is good?) hours for NHS by the fall sometime, when they do those inductions, and the 100 by the end of the year, or near it.</p>

<p>What did you all do?</p>

<p>you can volunteer at religious institutions,
or you can sign up at local hospitals and stuff. But colleges really like it if your passion for something extends to your extracurriculars.
So, it depends. Your idea would be pretty good if you wanna be a teacher or computer person. But if your going to do it during school.....it might get in the way academically speaking.</p>

<p>It would probably be after school.</p>

<p>And I'm not religious.</p>
