Introduction

Volunteering Statistics: The concept of volunteering is essential in building communities and providing services that many organizations cannot afford. It also provides the volunteers with a sense of achievement. In the year 2024, there are so many people devoting their time and energy to different endeavors, which tells a lot about the importance of volunteering in this present age.

This article provides the fundamental volunteering statistics for the year 2024 while focusing on the benefits of this act to time, population, and money used.

In 2023/24, approximately 54 percent of people in England advised that they had volunteered at least once in the previous year, with 33 percent volunteering at least once a month. In general, the share of people saying they volunteered has been declining since 2013/14, when approximately 70 percent of the population volunteered in a year.

The data for this website were collected through two supplements to the Current Population Survey (CPS); the Volunteer Supplement and the Civic Supplement. The CPS is a monthly survey of about 60,000 households, (approximately 100,000 adults) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The selected supplements collect data on the volunteering, voting, and civic activities of adults age 16 and older for volunteering and 18 and older for the civic supplement. Volunteers are considered individuals who performed unpaid volunteer activities through or for an organization at any point during the 12-month period, from September 1 of the prior year through the survey week in September of the survey year.

This statistic displays the number of formal volunteers in the U.S. from 2008 to 2023. Between September 2022 and September 2023, about 75.7 million adults in America were volunteering, a significant increase from the low rates seen in 2020 and 2021.

The Current Population Survey Civic Engagement and Volunteering (CEV) Supplement is the most robust longitudinal survey about volunteerism and other forms of civic engagement in the United States. Produced by AmeriCorps in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, the CEV takes the pulse of our nation’s civic health every two years. The data on this page was collected in September 2023. The next wave of the CEV will be administered in September 2025.

The CEV can generate reliable estimates at the national level, within states and the District of Columbia, and in the largest twelve Metropolitan Statistical Areas to support evidence-based decision making and efforts to understand how people make a difference in communities across the country.

In 2022, the share of people volunteering in an association in France was higher among people aged 65 to 79. Indeed, nearly one-third (32 percent) of French people aged 70-74 volunteered in an association, as did 27 percent of 75-79 year olds, and 24 percent of 65-69 year olds. In contrast, only 14 percent of those aged 45-49 volunteered in an association. Between 2010 and 2022, with the exception of 2019, the proportion of men volunteering in an association in France was higher than that of women.

The MEAE presents data on international volunteers each year. This information makes it possible to better understand the profiles, routes and destinations of volunteers who go abroad under the schemes supported directly or indirectly by the Ministry. These statistics are also useful to better guide and accompany them before, during and after their mission and to reach new audiences.

We conducted a review of literature on improving participation within nature conservation projects. This enabled us to determine what the most important factors were for participating in environmental projects, the composition of the populations sampled and the methods by which data were collected. The search terms used were (Environment* OR nature OR conservation) AND (Volunteer* OR “citizen science”) AND (Recruit* OR participat* OR retain* OR interest*). We reviewed all articles identified in the Web of Science database and the first 50 articles sorted for relevance in Google Scholar on the 22nd October 201...
