Helping a neighbor (not through an established organization)
Work with an organization where volunteering is a requirement for your (or someone else's i.e. little brother's) membership
Example: "pay to play" athletic leagues, such as the Hawks, where parents and/or siblings must volunteer time in order for a child to play
8. Internships (personal development is not community service)
9. Political Campaigns
10. Job Training, CIT/ Counselor in Training: Job training is considered as getting ready for a paid position and therefore is not considered volunteer work even if unpaid [Note: some park system volunteers may still qualify]
