So hypothetically, I volunteer with an organization that works in the inner city feeding the homeless, finding medical care, jobs, & shelter for those in the lowest levels of society. We've brought back many who were circling the drain into vital, productive lives. We even broken up human trafficking rings. It is miserable, dangerous work. I tend to drop a trip or two a month to contribute positively to my community. Can I get credit for this volunteer work that will bring me up to the gs cutoff? Its the same thing right?
