Absence of

initiatives
Unable to
drive
volunteer
engagement
Volunteers
unaware of
current

Current

forums are
unsustainable
2013 volunteer rate was the lowest since (BLS) started
recording data in 2002
71.3% of volunteers spent their time volunteering for one
organization
27.7% of individuals with some college or an associate’s degree
How do we keep volunteers engaged???

18.5% volunteer rate for 20- to 24-year-olds was the lowest for
any age group
