Categorizing leadership position that include volunteering (volunteer or EC?)

[mushroomfairy]

I'm the president of a club where I organize fundraisers and stuff, but I also volunteer at these fundraisers. I was also the lead for a service event. I both organized the event (book spaces, recruit volunteers, buy supplies, schedule the event, reach out to third party partners) and volunteered at the event. In short, I basically handle all the organization stuff, but then also volunteer alongside other students at the events I organize. Time commitment wise I'd say it's 60/40.

I'm a little confused on how to categorize experiences like this since they're both an extracurricular and a volunteering opportunity. Anyone have any advice/suggestions? Thanks!

I would consider itemizing the time you spent actually serving people versus organization and logistics. List the hours estimated breakdown in your description.

I hadn't thought of that, but that sounds like the best option. If I did 70 hours total, with 40 leadership + 30 volunteering, should I list the activity as 30 hours, then type that I have an additional 70 hours doing leadership stuff in the description?

I also had this question! Do you recommend putting the volunteering and logistics categories in different entries or lump them together in the same entry for the same club?

Unless there are explicit instructions, you can use one activity with total hours and break down the hours in the description.
