Help! 150 word activity essay

I'm writing this essay about a volunteering essay but I'm not sure what I should put in it.

Should it be more of a factual piece, stating what of I've done for the club (raising money, volunteering) and the different subdivisions in the organization that I've been apart? Or should it talk about the clubs purpose and its goals

How specific should i be?

If it isn't completely obvious what the club's purpose and goals are (based on it's name or reputation-eg. key club), you will need to spend a sentence or two describing it, so that what you talk about later as your accomplishments make sense to the reader.

You can go about the 150 word essay any way you want, just as long as it communicates what the activity is about and what it means to you.
