Wa `alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

 

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

 

Thank you for your good question.

 

I commend your interest to volunteer and teach Kids. Masjids and community centers are in bad need of volunteers to serve the society in the best way.

Having multiple good intentions behind good actions is fine. We all work to earn our living through halal ways and this is considered as an act of worship in itself too.

 

It is acceptable for Qur’an teachers, for example, to be paid for their efforts and they, at the same time, will be rewarded for their good intentions and work. This applies to all kinds of halal work.

 

Given the above, you shouldn’t hesitate to serve your society and community with your talents and skills. It is OK for you to record your community hours that you do at the masjid or the community center in the public service of your society for your application for the college.

 

May Allah accept your and our good deeds, ameen.

 

Allah Almighty knows best.
