Need more leadership roles. Also might want to look into getting some research experience. Other than that, your volunteering and shadowing is great.
 
More leadership? Really? Hmm... I actually thought that was my strongest area. I was a teacher too, does that count.
Ditto on the research though.
 
research isn't necessary for DO schools (maybe for tcom if you're applying tmd). its a good ec to have but not a deal breaker for any school.
