Quick Stats

In 2011, the number of volunteers reached its HIGHEST LEVEL IN FIVE YEARS, AS 64.3 MILLION AMERICANS volunteered through an organization, an increase of 1.5 million from 2010.

Americans volunteered a total of almost 8 BILLION HOURS, an estimated economic value of roughly $171 BILLION.

A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS assisted their neighbors in some way and MORE THAN A THIRD actively participated in a civic, religious, or school group.

Americans overwhelmingly VOLUNTEERED IN SCHOOLS or with other youth organizations, working to advance the lives of young people.

Nearly THREE OUT OF FIVE VOLUNTEERS AGED 25-54 ARE PARENTS to children who are under 18. These parents volunteered well above the national average, focusing on helping fill local needs while also serving as role models—showing their children that community involvement is a critical choice and habit that can improve lives.

NINE OUT OF 10 PARENTS in 2011 reported feeling some or a great deal of confidence in the public schools to do the right thing.
