Which volunteer job should I pick?

Applying to College

<p>I have a few options, each with varying difficulty (both to get in and to do the job). I am wondering which would be the most prestigious in the eyes of a college admissions official. </p>

<p>Here are the available jobs:
Local library</p>

<li>Helping kids with their hw </li>
<li>Rearranging books on shelves (2 hours/week)</li>
<li>Reading to kids (2-3 hours/week)</li>
</ol>

<p>CC

  1. The CC opened up a new hospital and a friend told me are looking for volunteers. This is a rare opportunity because all the other hospitals around me have waiting lists for their volunteer jobs and are quite selective.<br>
  2. Tutoring students at the local college. I have to follow up on this because I am not sure if they would let a hs student teach a college student and if I meet the prerequisites.</p>

<p>Lastly, I am thinking about simply tutoring students at my hs for money. </p>

<p>Well, what do you think?</p>

<p>Note: I am looking to get into a top UC, like UCLA or UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>can you do more than one?</p>

<p>I think you should pick the one you would enjoy doing more. None of those activities are going to knock anyone's socks off.</p>

<p>This is so messed up, you shouldn't do volunteer work based on what colleges think, do something based on what you believe and how you want to help people</p>

I totally agree, JRWriter.</this></p>

<p>In that case, I would like to tutor for free and as a paid tutor. I'd also like to read to kids at the local library. I guess it's settled. </p>

<p>Thanks for the ethics lesson. I am kind of caught up in the college hysteria.</p>
