What’s the value of Volunteering?
People + Their Time = Valuable Effort
Recently we were asked by a new school starting a S.A.F.E. TEAM program about what numbers were out there to prove the value. That caused us to run a Google search and we found two excellent sources.
1. Corporation for National & Community Service has a published document called Volunteering in America from 2007. Great stats including regional/state data. link
2. To learn specifically about the dollar value of volunteerism go to Independent Sector's site. link
