I'm looking for a new job and the company I want to contact only accepts resumes in English. I have several questions that I've written below. I'm also struggling with choosing the right way to describe my experience. I don't know which version sounds more natural, so I wrote both.
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a new job and the company I want to contact only accepts resumes in English. I have several questions that I've written below. I'm also struggling with choosing the right way to describe my experience. I don't know which version sounds more natural, so I wrote both.

-> Regular cooperation with the Fabryka Równości organization, operating since 2009 to promote equality and anti-discrimination education. for the benefit of/to the benefit of (??) equality and anti-discrimination education.
-> - supervising/supervised the plant advice point I don't fully understand 'advice' here- I think you mean information centre where customers get information about plants.
- guiding/guided the interested parties (??) and providing/provided additional information on the care of a diverse variety of plants and their diverse varieties (??) I'm assuming you're talking about plants in the garden e.g. flowers and trees not plants where they make things e.g. 'concrete plant' 'power plant'. Interested parties is ok because it's unclear whether it's customers from the general public, business associates or political officials. To me, parties is a formal broad term for 'people'. If you can't be more specific I guess 'parties' is ok.
-> help/helped in the competition office, supervising/supervised the work of other volunteers, contacting/contacted runners and preparing/prepared starter packages
• assisting/assisted in organizing a sporting event fun run (a fun run is a charity event often used to raise money for a charity were people run (or walk) competitively or non-competitively- which MIGHT be what you are referring to) on the day of running, aimed at drawing raising awareness for attention to the prevention and treatment of female cancers diseases
• giving/gave medals to runners at the end of the race
-> • assistance/assisted in organizing a sporting event on the day of the marathon
• transferring/transfer of information between the assigned coordinator and the supervised band of musicians
if the activities listed are from your current job, then using present tense e.g. assist, transfer, help. If the activities listed are from a previous job then used the past tense e.g. assisted, contacted, supervised
If the activities are listed as (for example):
'My volunteer experience includes:'
activity
activity
activity
then use the gerund form which makes it a noun e.g. assisting, helping, guiding
