Include it. You're providing an essential service that benefits society. And you're following the distancing and personal protection rules.I've been volunteering with a nonprofit that's been 3D printing and disinfecting face shields and then distributing them to hospitals, doctors, policemen, etc. in the area. I don't know if I should bother listing this on my app when I apply because I don't know if adcoms would view it as irresponsible during this quarantine. For the record, all volunteers are required to wear proper PPE and maintain social distancing during each shift.
I'm not doing this to pad my app so I plan on continuing to volunteer regardless, but any opinions on whether I should bother listing it on my application?
I totally agree and understand that, I'm not trying to come off as some sort of saint like I feel some people might be with whats going on. This is definitely not the focal point of my app.
After reading the replies to this post I think I'll include it and just provide a brief explanation of my responsibilities.
Obviously I don't know what might not get included if you include this or the rest of our profile, but I would include. You're following guidelines and stepping up to help in a time of crisis. You may also have a great answer here to possible interview questions about what you did during the pandemic to help your community.I've been volunteering with a nonprofit that's been 3D printing and disinfecting face shields and then distributing them to hospitals, doctors, policemen, etc. in the area.
