Yes, you should mention your volunteer experience if it is significant and full-time (which it sounds like it is). As for whether it will negatively affect your chances or not, it depends. If an adcom senses that you are doing it to "position yourself for b-school" it will be a negative. If it comes across as something that you genuinely would've done irrespective of b-school, then it could be a neutral to a positive thing, depending on your individual circumstances.
