June 07, 2022The demographics of volunteering is a fascinating subject. At least it is for me. And if you want to get an understanding of your volunteers, it probably should be for you, too! For instance, those born prior to 1966 volunteered significantly more hours than their younger counterparts. In fact, while iGen volunteers averaged about 82 hours per year, Baby Boomers and Matures averaged 153 and 222 hours per year respectively.
