But kids think in very binary terms- if it’s not an official HS club with a president, it’s not an activity or EC.

Yep, so true.

All those things you mentioned in your above post, and any similar outside of school activities, should be listed as ECs on the student’s app.

I wish there were awards for kids who took a grandparent for medical treatments every week because the grandparent doesn’t speak English and needed a translator. I wish there were awards for kid who shovel snow for an elderly neighbor without being asked so that the guy who delivers Meals on Wheels won’t slip and fall. I wish there were awards for kids who find time to play with the developmentally disabled toddler down the street who isn’t old enough for nursery school so doesn’t have kids his own age to interact with.
