[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid didn’t volunteer or do any community service activities or have impact. The interest has be genuine, authentic. So that box didn’t get checked. That doesn’t mean that they won’t contribute on campus. Kids grow and change and can contribute to their campus/local communities in a lot of other ways. Anyone else whose kid didn’t volunteer?[/quote] Maybe step in a little bit and model for your kid a volunteering opportunity. Do you volunteer somewhere? Can you bring DC with you and start to teach them about the meaning of service and get them thinking about what type of service might interest them. Maybe start with a local food pantry. The concept of assisting someone who needs additional food is one that almost anyone can relate to.[/quote] This. It's something I've tried to model/encourage with my kids because I want them to recognize the value and develop a lifelong habit. It's not just about college apps.[/quote]
