How should I format a volunteer resume?

I'm employed and now I'm looking to do some volunteer work for a new Jewish museum springing up in Philly (which BTW looks to be baller... 5 stories, 100,000 sq. ft., all glass facade, etc.). Apparently a lot of people are interested and so they're seeking out:
a: a letter of intent
b: a resume
I figure the letter of intent (something I've never written, so feel free to educate me) is just an "I want to help because I'm a good person and this looks interesting" kind of thing but I'm not sure what they want with the resume. Job experience, skills, schooling etc. I assume. What about the objective? That's what I'm worried about. The old "challenging tasks with space for gainful movement" thing doesn't seem to fit. I was thinking something like:
Objective: placement in an environment conducive to my skillset. I hope to be faced with exciting and challenging goals that will augment the local community.
Thoughts?

objective "to gain new skills and help the community through volunteer work" or something like that could fit. conducive and augment sound unnecessarily large-wordy
