Hello All!
I just took up a non-paid position with an organization in my community that assists underprivileged high school kids with college applications, tuition, etc.
My position will consist of being paired up with a pre-med high school kid and I will mentor him/her through the process of getting into college, picking out classes, etc. I will be working with this student for a year.
I am applying to medical schools in 2017, will this be considered non-clinical volunteer work? I am aware that both clinical and non-clinical are essential in applications.
I am currently volunteering at a hospice organization, am shadowing in a cardiology clinic, participating in some clinical trials for Alzheimer's, and now will be mentoring future pre-med students. Is this a strong non-paid background for applications?
Thanks for your input!
