Virtual Volunteering?

Question

Can I list virtual volunteering on my college applications?

Answer 1

As long as you have something to back it up.  How was your service tracked?  Did you have a supervisor that you can use as a reference....??

Answer 2

Sure.

Answer 3

Colleges like letters of reference or at the very list the contact information for a reference. It's unlikely they'd call a reference (due to the sheer number of applications they review) but they would definitely look at a letter. Whether the work was virtual or not it's always a good idea to get a letter of reference for future use.
