Hi everyone! I volunteer at my local church every weekend. Does this count as an extracurricular activity on college applications? I'm trying to make sure I have a strong list of activities to include. Thanks for your help!
Absolutely! Volunteering at your local church is a valuable extracurricular activity that shows your commitment to helping others and being involved in your community. Colleges appreciate applicants who are involved in various activities, and this one is a great example of community engagement.
When listing it on your application, be sure to include details such as the number of hours per week you volunteer and any specific roles or responsibilities you have taken on. You could also mention any events or initiatives you've helped organize or lead. This will demonstrate your level of commitment and the impact you've made through your volunteering.
Best of luck with your college applications!
