What's a Volunteer Worth, Anyway?

Well, the current value of volunteer time (provided by Independent Sector) makes the 74,615 hours of service donated by last year's 1804 volunteers worth $1.65 million. The new value of volunteer time by the hour is $22.14, a 35-cent increase from last year. And that's just the money figures! Their estimate didn't include sunny smiles, great attitudes, and the rest of the bonuses which come with your willingness to volunteer!
