Senior Julie Shih, president of UNICEF explained that “volunteering shows colleges that you’re not just for yourself, but you are willing to branch out and help others. In general colleges wouldn’t want someone who only cares about [themselves]. They will want to see that you’re actively helping out in the community.”
To join a club you can join their remind or their chosen contact choice and show up to meeting. They are typically during lunch or tutorial. Depending on the club there would be meetings weekly or biweekly and from there they would show volunteer opportunities.
