You don’t need to start your own club, but you need to do more than just contribute a lot of hours to an existing club or organization. You need to take on a level of responsibility, and have a significant measurable impact, such that your involvement differentiates you from all the other volunteers. For example, you take over the mgt. of information technology for the organization, or design and implement a new program, or do research on the customer/client base that helps the organization focus it’s resources.
This will require more thought, creativity, judgement and effort than simply volunteering your time. Nothing wrong with plain vanilla volunteering, by the way - it’s just that it isn’t going to win you scholarships and competitions.
