Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are doing well. I have a quick question to ask. I was apart of a club in undergrad that did several outreach and volunteering activities for the community. We invited speakers to talk about science and conducted hands-on demonstrations for the local children interested in science in he districts near our school. I was wondering if I would put this activity as Extra Curricular or Non-Clinical Volunteering? I can see it going both ways but I was not too sure. I would really appreciate your help in this. Thanks!

If you have space split it into two different activities! If not then whichever you spent more time doing, which sounds like Extra Curricular

Nonclinical volunteering seems suitable if you omit any general club meetings, travel, training, etc from your hourly totals and only include the dates and times when you performed a service to the community.

You could probably classify this as non-clinical volunteering- it won't really matter.
