I'm going to be applying this summer and I have few questions on the Extracurricular/Volunteer/Community Service section. Is there a difference really between the 3 or are they just all lumped together? How many spots do you have to fill in that section? 10?

For filling out the section I have volunteering in 2 separate county offices, a bunch of church volunteering, youth coaching, 2 honor societies consisting of volunteering, and our Pre-Dental Club with some lasting 3+ years. When you are filling it out, do you need to provide a supervisor or contact person at all? As a few of mine I have worked with several people and don't have a certain person who worked with each time during my volunteering for that "organization." Also, what is a good amount of volunteering or should be required when applying? Thanks for the clarification on my confusion.
