Can I get a recommendation letter for volunteer work for last minute college scholarship without doing work?

Question

I have a regular job which does not give me any free time or much money. Do you know of any volunteer work in New York this coming Satuday or Sunday or even on a weekday , where I can get a letter right away for college scholarship. I am willing to pay a small fee and attend some kind of seminar or program. Unfortunately, Iam not a member of any church or organization or club. I already have recommendation letters from my professors. The scholarship is pretty much guaranteed, if I can get any volunteer letter by May 30, 2007. Any solid last minute advise will be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

That might be pretty tough to get a recommendation letter in short order. People tend to give a recommendation letter to someone who they know or has volunteered for their organization for a while. However, it might be possible. Check with the United Way, local churches, civic organizations, soup kitchens, Special Olympics, and the American Red Cross because they need volunteers on a regular basis. Good luck!
