I think the OP is under the common misconception that you need to have volunteer hours to get into college. That’s actually not true. The suggestions of other posters are all good, if you can find a volunteer situation that you enjoy or that helps you explore your interests, by all means, go for it. I think it’s a good test to think seriously about how you will feel if you put in those hours and don’t get in to your desired colleges. If you will look back and say, well I feel good about my work with that organization, or I learned something, then great. But if you are going to look back on that time as a “waste”, as I see some students posting, then find something more meaningful to do.
