He definitely has impact.  [/quote]

Then unless he's Batman, there will be another adult outside of this who could attest to this, and he could also document the impact. Should the activity get questioned, there would be evidence of it.[/quote]

Well yes, obviously there are adults who know he does this.  But there's no place on the app, as far as i can tell, to put a reference.  [/quote]

Many schools accept additional non-teacher recommendations. If the activity is that meaningful, [b]that's likely a good idea beyond verification[/b].[/quote]

If the activity that that meaningful, get an article in the local newspaper. [/quote]

Many places no longer have meaningful local newspapers. It's not like the Washington Post is going to write about a high school student's community service project, no matter how impactful.[/quote]

I am the app who suggested the local newspaper. I am also the parent of a student who was on television for meaningful community service. We were lucky to get that recognition as we are not connected. Rather than suggest getting your kid on tv, I suggested a local newspaper. But ok get your kid on tv if you don’t have a local newspaper? I dunno. Use you imagination! [/quote]
