If you have volunteer experience, describe how long you have volunteered and with what organizations. If you have not had time to volunteer, you can explain that you have not had much time to offer but are interested in helping however you can. Even if you have helped family members or neighbors who needed assistance with a task, you can share that in your response.

"Yes, I have volunteered with numerous organizations since I was eight years old. My mother taught me the importance of helping others, and she would take me with her when she volunteered at the church. Over the years, I have stocked and organized food pantries with donated goods, fed the hungry, worked as a track coach at the Special Olympics, and spent time at the local animal shelter playing with the animals. I enjoy helping others and continue to do so to this day."

"That was an amazing gift you donated to the church, and I'm sure they greatly appreciated it! Yes, I love to volunteer and do so at least once a week. I have numerous organizations I work with, like Big Brothers Big Sisters, my local church, my son's middle school, and the local food bank. If there are any volunteer opportunities with Mercy Health, I would be interested in being involved."
