"At my company, we are close to an elementary school and volunteers are needed to read to the students each week. I volunteered immediately and have been part of this program for 2 years. Sometimes it is hard to leave the office each week because I'm so busy, but each time I go there, it is so rewarding."

"My company didn't have a robust volunteerism program and we are pretty small, so I actually started a school supply drive to benefit schools in our community. This isn't something our teams were used to doing, so it took some promotion, but in the end, we ended up with a huge amount to donate. The schools were so pleased and it really boosted engagement at our office."

Excellent! Hiring authorities really enjoy seeing volunteer/community involvement. Try giving more detail in regard to what you do with/for these organizations.

I have several schools in my territory so I develop fundraisers for various organizations in the school. This allows them to purchase new uniforms, pay for trips, or purchase any supplies they might need to be successful as an organization. It also helps them become more active in their community and may even help with communication skills that will be helpful outside of school.
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! Running fundraisers to help raise money for school organizations so they can buy necessities and supplies is a great way to give back to the community. How did you get started doing this? Is it possible to cite any specific numbers in terms of how much money you have raised? The more details you can provide, the more memorable your answer will be to the interviewer!
