My DD was selected to be on our youth sustainability council, it’s comprised of students from all the local city high schools and they do a variety of projects. Maybe see if there is something comparable, and if not, perhaps start one? Could even be run through the local library or local gov if not through the schools.

Guys. Who cares. You are ruining the site with your constant trolling.

There are a few of us on here interested in this. No need to gatekeep.
Why are you even here?
Oh, no doubt people are interested. But essentially OP is asking what can make her kid stand out. If there is no gatekeeping, there is no standing out.
I am the OP. I am happy to share - see below. That's the point of this place! I'll add on as I find others.

To respond to some other questions, DC's sibling is at T10. Unsure, but likely applying there early. From an underrepresented state or a geographically desirable state. Private selective HS (ranked 1 in state).
I think you should clarify for others that your kids are heavily hooked (geographic diversity + private selective school) which means your older child's admission to a T10 should be taken with a grain of salt to others. (Great for your older kid, but your family's experience will not be like that of unhooked applicants).
I think she did disclose that. I picked that up.
Thank you for refereeing here.
Your trolling is too much these days. Are you out of work? Lonely?
Not disclosed in the original post so many will not see it.
Nor is the OP's other child mentioned in the original post, so your comment here is irrelevant.

Hutton is really good. It's the only one on the list worth attending.
If your sibling is at T10, then you are experienced in how to get there. Please do share more.
