How do PhD programs view unrelated volunteer experience?

[kingsdead]

I'm thinking stuff like the Peace Corps, etc. Would doing something like that be looked at as a good thing by PhD programs? Or would it be looked down upon for being an indication of not being focused enough on stats/biostats? Or would programs pretty much ignore it and treat it as a two year gap?

Asking because I'm in such a program right now and have no clue how that will impact my chances (if at all).

Adcoms will most likely ignore your volunteer experience. It won't look good or bad.

Thank you for the help! I was worried it would hurt me for showing lack of focus or something
