What's the best way to list contract jobs and voluntee jobs?

Whats the best way to list contract jobs and voluntee jobs on a resume? I don't want to give off the impression that I have been bounceing around from job to job. I would like to get a job that I can work at a for a few years but all the jobs I've had each have lasted about a month in length.

If they're mostly contracting and temp work, list them as such. HR folks understand that contract workers are usually only hired for specific purposes for specific periods of time. The only way to really give the impression that you've been bouncing around from job to job is if you list a whole bunch of fulltime jobs.

I agree with Drakonblayde, list them as what they are. In my experience it can actually work as a good thing to have several short term jobs listed on a resume. Especially if you're still rather new to the field. It's much better than listing nothing and/or having gaps in your career.
