• Answer:

  What colleges look for in extra-curriculars: * How you've made a meaningful contribution to something * What your non-academic interests are * Whether you can maintain a long-term commitment * Whether you can manage your time and priorities * What diversity you'd bring to the student body Work experience—paid or volunteer, year-round or summer—can help you identify career interests and goals, gain work experience, and apply classroom learning to the real world. You can also gain skills and experience through volunteer work, such as by tutoring elementary school kids or spending time at a local hospital. Some things you can do are: National Science bowl, Science Olympiad, MathCounts, National Mock Election http://www.nationalmockelection.org/ , Scripps National Spelling Bee http://www.spellingbee.com/ , National Academic Quiz Tournaments http://www.naqt.com/ , Odyssey of the Mind http://www.odysseyofthemind.com/ There are so many depending on what you are good at. Don't forget your church! There are tons of ways to give to your community there. Also your library may be the way to go if you want to do a story hour or event.
