Including smaller volunteer work

What's the opinion on volunteer work that was interesting and meaningful, but only for a small number of hours (20-30). Should one include them, or only if they don't have any longer involvements? I have plenty of longer term (200-300+) involvements, but at the same time don't want to sell myself short..

I see stuff like that added all the time; don't sweat it.

So, don't include them?

Include them, but group them together. You can have a line or so about each one and use "misc volunteering" or something like that for the title.

It sounds like you have some pretty solid experiences, clearly you have to include these 300+ hours experiences. For the shorter lived ones I would definitely feel free to include the ones that are most interesting to you and that you think would be an interesting topic to discuss during an interview.

Are ~50 hour ones over 4 months not worth putting in? It was not significant to me personally and more of a "because my boss wanted me to for her to look better" thing. I got more out of two things I did that were only holiday stuff.
