AMERICORPS’ CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND VOLUNTEERING SURVEY UNCOVERS TRENDS IN THE WAY AMERICANS VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME IN A POST-PANDEMIC WORLD

, /PRNewswire/ —

BACKGROUND:

After the pandemic disrupted our lives and available time to volunteer, Americans are finding meaningful ways to give back. In fact, the national volunteering rate has increased by 5.1 percentage points since the last report. The previous report shows more than 60.7 million people formally volunteered with organizations between September 2020 and 2021. This year’s research shows a more than 22 percent growth in just two years. This is the largest expansion of formal volunteering AmeriCorps has ever recorded and truly showcases the spirit of volunteerism on the rise in America. Volunteering doesn’t always need to be formal. More than 137.5 million people – or 54.2 percent of Americans – helped their neighbors informally, or outside of an organization.
