Volunteering in America
 VolunteeringInAmerica.gov hosts the most comprehensive collection of data on volunteering and civic engagement ever assembled, including data for every state and nearly 200 cities. The data is collected through a partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and has been released annually since 2005.
New research shows that despite all the additional stresses of a difficult economy, volunteers are answering the President’s call to service by pitching in to help others in need. In fact, 1.6 million more Americans served in 2009 than in 2008—the largest increase in service since 2003.
VolunteeringInAmerica.gov provides an opportunity for policy makers, nonprofit and business leaders, and interested individuals to interact with their local data and access analysis on volunteering trends across the country. The site also hosts tools and effective practices designed to help local leaders target volunteer recruiting efforts more effectively, match local programs with available volunteer resources, fill service gaps, and do a better job of retaining their volunteers.
