For volunteering, what matters more hours dedicated or years done?

What matters the most is what you accomplished: projects started, people whose lives you’ve helped improve, money you’ve raised, etc. The few colleges that consider ECs and service as admission factors (and they tend to be places like HPYS that have such an overabundance of high stat applicants that the colleges can use other factors to pick and choose among those high stat applicants) are interested in results, not hours amassed.
