What Should I Post?
Resources encourage folks to post real examples of their volunteer experience using specific numbers, such as:
- The number of hours you spent volunteering.
- The size of the team you worked with or managed.
- Tangible results, such as funds raised, events organized, or people impacted. For example, instead of saying “Organized charity events,” you could write “Led a team of 10 volunteers to organize a fundraiser that raised $10,000 for local shelters.”
