spend 60 hours playing call of duty on xbox live and explain kids how to kill noobs. Or teach  kids beer pong in preparation for college. 60 hours worth of preparation.

tutor kidsafter school. 2 hours a day and it wont take any time at all to get up to 30 hours.  Or like mow old ladies lawns or something, thats a  solid 2 hours right there

I was a Big Brothers Big Sisters youth mentor, it was something like1.5 hours every week, and I was excused during school. Great experience looks awesome on the old resume/application.

consider it

 I always serve dinners at my church, etc., and a friend has a farm, so I just ask him if he needs free help. I don't know if that helps you, but it's how I do it.

Go to your local war veterans hospital or war vets society and hang out with them. I swear - i absoluely promise you - it will change your life...you may even continue to visit them when your community service is up. They have absolutely insane stories that for the first time, they want to share with youth, because they don't want the importance of their role in WWII to die when they do.

my high school requires about 150 hours in the four years. I did about 100 at a preschool and it was really cool. At first its mad awkward, but once you start to get to know the kids and teachers it gets to be pretty cool. You wont regret it if you do it at a daycare/preschool or something.
