3. In the United States, just about everyone, at one time or another, has been a
volunteer. On any given day, millions of Americans give of their time and talents
to benefit their communities through volunteer service. Volunteering is so
pervasive in the United States that it can be observed daily in almost every aspect
of life.
In a typical year, about one-fifth of the American population, more than 62 million
people, serve as volunteers, according to U.S. government statistics. They
contribute more than 8 billion hours of service to local and national groups, valued
conservatively at $173 billion.
The roots of U.S. volunteerism are far reaching and deep. Americans have been
banding together to help one another since colonial times. The settlers of the new
American colonies all had the same priority: survival. Physically, the land was a
wilderness, and socially, most familiar organizational structures were missing.
Cooperation frequently meant the difference between life and death.
Neighboring farmers combined efforts to clear land, build houses and barns, and
harvest crops. Quilting parties and spinning bees were common occurrences, as
were “whangs,” gatherings of women who helped each other with annual
housecleaning. Church buildings were built by volunteers, and town records are
rife with references to donations of land, materials and money, all given
voluntarily so that each community could have its own place of worship. Volunteer
efforts by both men and women were called “changing works.”
