Why Volunteer

A number of long-term studies report all-time highs in youth civic attitudes and behaviors over the last two decades:

  • A survey of college students found an all-time high in the percentage of first-year college students who said that helping others in need was a “very important” or “essential” personal objective.
  • Another study finds that volunteering among tenth and twelfth graders has risen steadily over the past fifteen years.

This translates into the younger workforce anticipating volunteer opportunities to be available to them through their employer.

Despite the vital role that volunteers play in society and the high volunteer rate among young adults, indications suggest that overall volunteering rates are trending down slowly each year (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015). If this trend were to continue, it could present additional challenges to non-profit organizations. There is a real opportunity for companies to invest in approaches that capitalize on the wave of historically high volunteer rates today with their employees.
