2007 Economic Impact of Arkansas Volunteers

Conclusion

Volunteers in Arkansas are performing a much needed function for the state. In this present era of diminishing funding to public agencies and schools, volunteers are giving their time to assist these organizations in helping to meet the needs of all citizens.

As shown in this study, the work performed by volunteers has a significant monetary value. A concentrated effort to recruit volunteers should be a part of each agency/organization's strategic plan for the future. By incorporating volunteers, the delivery and quality of services by agencies and organizations is maximized. This study highlights the efforts being made by the many volunteers in Arkansas. Volunteers are to be commended for all their efforts and the many hours they give in service to others.
