No verification necessary. Closest thing they get to it is asking for contact info for a volunteer supervisor.

All your interviewer has to do is ask you any specific question about an experience, they will know if your lying or not.

I heard that if an interviewer concentrates really hard, they can explode your mind.

although if you are getting a letter of rec from any of your volunteer experiences, you want to make sure you and the writer are saying the same thing!
