Late to the game, please look at my volunteering plan

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
In terms of volunteering, currently have 0 hours.

I do agree you are starting behind the 8 ball here. One problem is you have a lot of plans but not much in play right now. Also, an arguably bigger problem is that you only have a year before you apply which is tough because you will have a hard time showing commitment/longevity at one place. Not impossible but tough.

Starting next week as an mandarin interpreter at a community clinic. Will do that once a week for 1 hour

Pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers son. But seriously, that is an interesting activity. See if you can get more of it.

That’s yet, I don’t think I can be a hospital volunteer anymore because of the navigation (UNC system is weird).

Why? It wouldn't hurt to mix in some clinical volunteering too.

I can't. That's there limit 🙁

I gotta play by their rules. They give out passes and assign you to certain departments.

I'm hoping to show that via research. I joined a lab first week freshman year. Have been here almost everyday literally, even on weekends and holidays. Work over 40+ during summer and get to lead my own projects/publish 1 first author and 2nd authors

How is that possible? 1 hour per week? That is barely enough to have any impact.

No you don't. Go outside the system.

But not in volunteer pursuits.
