ACLU is great, and also look for other advocacy groups and organizations. As with ACLU you may want to look at groups that don’t necessarily look like feminist groups or human rights groups or gender-issues groups per se. For example, your community might have a program to help homeless find jobs or housing, to tutor students over the summer. There will inherently be issues involving children, gender equality, and LGBT concerns across these issues. Or, for example, going abroad will help widen your perspective on these issues within a different culture. When you describe your experiences on an application, you’ll have a chance to show the underlying connections, for example in your essays.

Passion for an issue will show. People with passion naturally seek out ways to innovate and solve problems. You can’t fake passion although many have tried! Passion and innovation and excellent academics will look “good” to colleges.
