[QUOTE="tayloreve, post: 12684051, member: 312733"] Hi SDN! I have read so many posts on here where people say they have 100, 200, 300, sometimes even over 1000 volunteer hours. My question is, how do people get so many volunteer hours? Obviously this isn't something you can do overnight. Do these people that have hundreds of volunteer hours usually start doing a lot of volunteering their freshman year of college? I'll be a junior this year and I did absolutely no volunteering freshman year and a little bit my sophomore year (20 hours maybe). I know I really need to increase that number for when I apply next cycle. I've been looking into volunteering at a local animal shelter. But say if I only did ~3 hours a day, 3 times a week, for 2 months, thats still only about 70 hours. What kind of things to people volunteer for to get 300 something hours? I'm just getting a little discouraged because I went to volunteer for the Food Bank, and after an hour and a half they sent me home because there was nothing else for me to do. -____- I'm just nervous my lack of community involvement will have a negative impact on my application. On the bright side, I do have a whole year to work on it. Advice? Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
