<p>Some buddies and I are going to start tutoring at-risk elementary kids weekly. It’s only four of us total. On college applications would I call this an organization. “Started an organization to tutor at-risk students”? Or would it be better to say “organized a group of students to tutor at-risk students”?</p>
<p>How can I get to the point at which I can call what we’ve done an organization? Do I need an official name? More students?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Why can’t you just call it tutoring?</p>
<p>I need to look like I am a leader and took some initiative to do something. It’s also seperate from all of the other tutoring I’ve done. Like I’ve tutored kids at my school but this is going out of the way to tutor some at-risk kids. It’s also on a higher level than my other tutoring. Like it’s more organized because it’s through another non-profit. I just want to find a way to do something a little bigger than “tutoring”</p>
<p>There’s a fine line between presenting yourself in the best way possible and presenting yourself in a way that will get you laughed at. (For example, one time there was a kid on here wanting to know if he should say he was the “founder and CEO” of this little business he started.)
I think “organized a group of students to tutor at-risk students” would be best (I’m not a fan of students being used twice, but I dunno what else you could say). There will probably be enough space for you to go into slightly more detail than that.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice Heather. Ill say something along the lines of that. You think I could say “organized a group of volunteers to tutor at-risk youths”? </p>
<p>Yeah, that sounds fine. Or “to tutor at-risk students.”</p>
