What is a good number inside volunteering?

You can’t volunteer SOLELY for hours. The point of volunteering is to make an impact on your community, and if you don’t like to volunteer then you probably aren’t doing much. I remember when I first volunteered at a nursing home in order to make my resume look good. But then, I started liking and enjoying it. Now instead of just doing bingo and talking with residents, I help to organize car washes and bake sales, etc.

Your passion for volunteering will appeal to universities more than simply a bunch of hours. That’s why a lot of students embed a lot of their volunteering experiences into their essays: to show that when they volunteered, they actually got something out of it.
