roundabout Posted August 15, 2018 How far back should I list my volunteer hours? I've gone on mission trips and done a lot of volunteer work for my church, but it's like 7-10 years old.
DarcyJ Posted August 15, 2018 I'm 39, so I listed stuff as old as twelve years at least. But, older would even be fine in my opinion. It shows your track record as charitable and not just recent involvement. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Administrator rev ronin Posted August 16, 2018 Administrator My guidance would be to err on the side of including things that 1) Showed a multi-year commitment to something. Volunteered in the special olympics once when you were twelve, and never since? Ooookay, why does that make me want you in my program? or 2) Are specifically healthcare related. So, yes, medical missions trips as a teen with your church group, even if you weren't certified and were just a gofer is a good thing to keep including.
