I agree with all that posted. What colleges care about is that you pursued your interests , which is what you did. They don’t care about whether your school considers it volunteer work or community service.

If colleges will allow it, get a supplementary recommendation from the person who supervised you at the school. That could add a perspective to your application that wouldn’t be reflected by the GC and teacher recommendations.
