If one were to have multiple clinical/non-clinical volunteering positions, what would be a safe number of hours completed to list it on the AMCAS? I have multiple volunteering experiences with hours ranging from 40-300+ and I would like to know if it's even worth it to include anything below 100 hours out of fear that they would be overlooked.

No they won't be overlooked... There are many threads on this but seems like people have 150 hours on average of clinical volunteering TOTAL.

Many applicants will group multiple short-term volunteer experiences together into one space so that the Total Hours has greater impact. Try not to mix Clinical and NonClinical together.
