i LOVE that requirement being towards a DEDICATED project.
My county has a service requirement now. back in the old millenium when i graduated, i don't think they had it. however, i did a major amount of service through church, kitty hawk (AFJROTC honor society), and sga.
question:
i sit on a couple of scholarship review panels and all the awards require community service. since all the school local districts MANDATE kids complete X number of hours, i don't give points for doing the minimum. I give points for longevity and whether or not someone from the place they claimed they've done 40 million hours of service writes them a rec.
i feel like the kid who has volunteered consistently over a year or so at one place is more dedicated than the kid who volunteers somewhere different every saturday AND lists ALLLLLLLLL of those places on an application. I've gotten into heated debate with the rest of the panel about this.
do you guys have thoughts about this?
