Hi Latinos In College, thanks for this awesome page!
Can you explain the difference between the volutneer requriement and the community service that universities expect of student applicants? I appreciate your help and keep up the great work you do!

Hi Paulina,

Community service and volunteering are two different ways of saying the same thing.

Each school may have different requirements for the number of hours you must complete or the type(s) of organizations to which you volunteer your time, but most just like to see that applicants are actively involved with charitable work and can balance school and outside activities.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Best,
Amber George
