According to a new national study conducted by VolunteeringInAmerica.gov, Columbus ranks as the 8th best city in the country for volunteering efforts. The report mentions that our volunteer retention rate is almost 75% while the national average is 65% and that based on annual averages, volunteers in Columbus contributed 43 service hours per person.
If you’re looking for local volunteer opportunities, check out our bi-weekly Philanthropy Friday series for a variety of ideas about organizations that you can get involved in helping out with.
Congrats to the many volunteers and those behind the scenes making all those opportunities possible. If you happen to be looking for an upcoming opportunity, GenNext will be assisting low-income seniors repair and “green” their homes on June 26. More info… http://tinyurl.com/22qlcwl
