If your volunteer activities clearly stand out in terms of creativity, measurable impact, project management or leadership skills then def. list your specific accomplishments. Otherwise, less is more.

I don't mind seeing it at the bottom, on the "interests" line. PTA is no more or less serious than "travel, cooking, karyoke, " etc. I would not make it a separate entry...

I would only include it if it is really really relevant to the position you are applying for.

Do you include volunteer experience on your resume that will "give you away" as a parent? For example, PTA president, on the Board at X private school?? I've gotten conflicting advice as I attempt to update my resume. Thanks!
