• Tutor for stem and writing at inner-city middle and highschool students (300 hours)
• Volunteer in a social justice in incarceration organization (20 hours)

Are you an employee at that school? If not, you may need to supplement 150 more hours of face to face service orientation activities: food distribution, shelter volunteer, job and tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation. How many hours depends on the details of your social justice organization.

I wasn't an employee of the school, I volunteered to tutor the students afterschool through an organization at my undergrad. Also, in the health clinic I volunteered at (400 hours), I would measure vital signs of community health fair attendees and provide preventative health information to clinic patients. Would that activity count as a face to face service orientation activity?
