Yes! You need to sit down with a hiring specialist so you can convert volunteer duties into employable terms.
Emphasize long term committments, customer oriented services, training and specific duty responsibilities. If you hold any type of leadership position, consider getting a recommendation from the chairman of the organization. You want a job recommendation based on your performance in the position, not a personal reference.
Good luck...

Yes, indeed!
Any volunteer work will suggest that you are ready and willing to do more than you are asked to perform. It also shows that you have a stronger character by offering to help people or causes that require the help of the community.
It is always a good idea to perform your volunteer work on a regular basis,(weekly, first Friday of month, etc.) for documentation purposes, but it may be necessary for an HR recruiter to check your listing. So, it is a good practice to let your volunteer leader know of your service times, in case they are questioned over the phone.
Try to keep a record of your hours if possible.

Yes. Put everything you have done, whether paid or unpaid, on a resume. No matter if its dog sitting, baby sitting or the like. It shows you in a better light to the employer. Good Luck!

Of course. Volunteering comes (or should come) from the heart. If you volunteer to do something nice for nothing, it means you're a good human being

Yes, because it shows a future employer that you're one that has dedication because you have displayed determination without compensation.
So in the eyes of a future employer, you may prove to be an unstoppable money making force when rewarded with pay.

Yes it shows you like to give back to the community and that money isnt everything. That you are a caring person. Yeah it looks REALLY good.

Absolutely - it says a lot about your character. I would much rather see an applicant with volunteer experience than one whose hobbies include: member of a death metal band, rock skipper.......
