Can Organizations Put a Price on Volunteers?
The answer is YES! The Economic Impact of Arkansas Volunteers reported that in 2005 ther were 434,352 volunteers. These individuals served 24,504,478 hours, equating to a dollar value of $471,695,070! That is money saved by countless businesses, organizations and agencies who utilize volunteers in their daily service.
In today’s economy, groups are relying more on volunteers to cut costs and increase effectiveness. However, successful management of volunteerism requires training. Do you provide training opportunities for your staff to gain an understanding of the volunteer’s unique role and perspective? If not, you can now!
