Hi - I have a question about what counts as nonclinical volunteering.

Does being the TA of a class count as nonclinical volunteering? What about tutoring struggling students at my university?

Welcome to the forums.

Tutoring/teaching/mentoring for classification purposes.

No and no.

What outcomes want to see is that your life doesn't revolve around academics, and that you can get off campus and out of your comfort zone.

Ok, that makes sense! If it's still education based, but it is off campus, is that nonclinical volunteering? For example, working with a national organization to tutor underprivileged students?

There is a category for teaching/tutoring. You can describe the population in the free text section of the entry.

As others have said, no. This is not nonclinical volunteering, it's teaching.
