can I write that I volunteer outside of school in an organization or no?
What could be some other ideas?

Yes, it it was during your high school years.
Yes, absolutely it is fine to talk about something that isn’t academic or school-related. Part of the purpose of the essay is to get a sense of you as a person, not just what is in your academic record. I think talking about a volunteer experience could make a very good essay. Be sure your essay is revealing about YOU… it is okay to say that you struggled at times, or felt conflicted over your volunteer work – you want to show them something about you as a person. Don’t just use platitudes – examples and how they made you feel are really good.
Thanks Guys.
