How do I list extracurricular activities on a student resume?

Choose the activities where you had a role, made a contribution or reached a notable level, and present each like a small job: role, organisation, dates and one or two bullets. Activities with real responsibility tell employers far more than a list of club names.

Example:
"Events Coordinator | University Business Society | Sep 2024 – Jun 2025

• Organised four networking evenings with local employers, each attended by 60–80 students.
• Managed a team of five volunteers and a small events budget."

Practical tips:

• Use a heading such as "Activities", "Leadership and Activities" or "Volunteering".
• Put the most relevant or substantial activity first.
• Combine minor memberships into one line: "Member: Photography Club, Arabic Debate Society".
• Leave out activities you only joined briefly or where you did nothing you can describe.

Include school activities only if you are still at school or in the first years of university, or if they were exceptional.
