Wear your monkey costume and just take some time to tell them what it is you do. You will be surprised some of the questions they ask. Some are downright hilarious, but some will blow you away and make you actually think about it before you answer!!!
Like paying money to network or accepting a job for food stamp wages. At some point somebody accepted it and it became the customary norm. Not saying volunteering is on the same page as food stamp wages but people have many different reasons as why they don't have time to volunteer and are held at fault on their resumes for it.
