How do I include volunteer work in my resume?

You can include volunteer work in a dedicated section or under relevant experience. What type of volunteer work have you done?

I've volunteered at a local animal shelter and organized community clean-up events.

That's great! You can list these experiences with your role, the organization, and the dates. Would you like help formatting it?

Yes, please! How should I format the animal shelter experience?

You can format it like this:

Volunteer, Animal Shelter
City, State
Month Year – Month Year

• Assisted in caring for animals and managing adoption events.

That looks good! Should I include any specific skills?

Absolutely! Include skills like teamwork, communication, and any specific tasks you performed. It enhances your resume!
