That is laudable, and I’m sure the community will benefit from your work. However since this is a college admissions board, I suspect you’re doing this at least in part with an eye towards impressing adcoms. For that it isn’t going to work; you could just as easily write “spent 600 to 700 hours sharpening pencils at school”. Both show dedication, but neither shows the leadership or achievement the schools that care about these things want to see. </p>
