volunteer activities

Donated time efforts

Volunteer activities are unpaid work done freely to benefit others or a cause.

The phrase appears constantly in résumés, college applications, and organizational reports: List any volunteer activities you've participated in.

It covers everything from serving at soup kitchens to coaching youth sports to building houses abroad—any service given without compensation.
