對于住宿生,如果想在校外找到相關活動的話情況會有點復雜。你需要得到校方的允許,自己安排交通等。我個人認為,如果你僅僅為了參與更多的社區活動而想搬到一個寄宿家庭居住的話不是特別明智。因為在寄宿學校你可以體驗寄宿學校提供完備的學習生活條件。我相信即便是在學校里,你一定有機會參與更多有意義的活動,為以后sanford U的申請積累重要素材。

好的寄宿學校的學生服務辦一般會有關于志愿者活動的相關信息,或是提供一些富有意義的課外活動的建議,尤其對以后大學申請有幫助的課外活動。學生會或是系里應該也會組織一些志愿者活動。我的首要建議是加入到那些組織中,或是獲得校方支持,自己組織一些志愿活動。當然發起一項全新的活動,并持之以恒不是那么容易的。許多大學希望看到學生自己組織類似的活動,并且對于學生曾參與什么樣的活動,自身能力是如何展現的這些方面非常感興趣。必須明確的是,關鍵不在于活動的規模和參與人數,而是在于你對這項活動傾注了多少心力。 如果可能的話建議可以在校內發起一項小規模的活動。

Still if you cannot find anything inside the school, then you might want to go and find something meaningful outside the school. This could be more complicated since you are at the boarding school. You might need to seek a permit from the school, to arrange your own transportation, and to find other logistics to support your projects. I think that your idea to leave the school and to live with a host family (I am not sure if your school would allow this) for community service is not wise because you are there to experience the wholesome experience that a boarding school can provide. I am sure there are plenty opportunities for you to participate meaningful activities which also boost your college application nearby Stanford University while you are staying at your school. Good luck! Prime Global.

Usually a good boarding school has a student service office (or guidance office) that can offer useful advice on volunteering works and other meaningful activities at school and beyond especially in relations with college application process. Student groups or faculty members also would organize some volunteer works in the school as well. My first advice is to find or to even organize your own volunteer activities in school while finding some supports from the school. Please remember it is not easy to start something new and even to continue to develop. Many colleges nevertheless would like to see this type of projects led by students, and particularly are interested in what kind of volunteer works a student participates and in what capacity he/she participates. Clearly it is not about the size of organization or the number of volunteer works you involve, but about how much you put your hearts in particular projects. Please start anything even that is small within the school community if possible.
