I’ve done plenty of volunteering, but it seems like all the major scholarship/competition winners have started their own organization or own project (for example: to donate supplies to Haiti children). I’ve mainly done my volunteering through Key Club and my local library (for more than 4 years).
How does one start their own organization, or do people just make it sound much grander than it actually is. All the organizations they create sound so impressive, and what I’ve done so far pales in comparison…:(
