word choice - "Make an experience" or "gain an experience"
Do you make an experience or gain an experience? For example,
I made rewarding volunteering experiences ...
I gained rewarding volunteering experiences ...
Are either acceptable? Is there a finer distinction?
Answer
Experience meaning knowledge or skill from doing something is used as an uncountable noun and goes with gain.
I gained much experience from the job.
Experience meaning something that happens that affects you is used as a countable noun, but that is another situation altogether.
He made it an unpleasant experience for me.
It is not clear what your example sentences mean and it is best to rewrite them.
