First research project - can I make a composite measure from different scales?

First ever research project, and I am struggling a bit.

Measuring volunteering and its effect on wellbeing, and it's time to analyze the results.

I made a composite measure with the first two questions and called it "volunteering frequency." Can I make a composite measure with all four?

If not maybe I'll just ignore the second two questions. Or, should I just do 3 separate analyses? Pearson's correlation with composite measure from the first two questions, the third question, and the fourth question?

Thanks for any help.

Hi everyone I am currently enrolled in Research Methods at Folsom Lake College, and for my final project I have to design a study and collect data to test my hypothesis. To help me complete my final project I need to recruit at least 30 adults to fill out my survey. If you have a few minutes and are willing to fill out a brief survey, I would greatly appreciate your help.
