[quote=Anonymous]i suppose some do. Nonprofit starting is so 2018 it hurts applicants these days: better for kid to find a current community organization they care about and volunteer.

real research vs fake is hard to determine.

Mine did none of this. Their main activities were things they started at age 8--a summer camp, a musical instrument, girl scouts for one, church group another. Those plus leader of a school club and or sport. Top rigor, top scores, almost very top of class. They were kind caring top students so teachers nominated them for various honors/awards and summer programs such as highly selective Gov School and stem programs.  They got in to ivy/t10 no hooks during some of the most difficult application years their high school has seen. This past cycle the school is back to the precovid normal of 6-8 unhooked kids in at ivy+ instead of 3. 
Parents do not need to do anything for these kids other than encourage them to pursue the things they like with excellence in mind, and find one community organization they care about. [/quote]
