Volunteering: An American Tradition
In the
United States,
just about everyone, at one time or another, has been a volunteer. On
any given day, millions of Americans give of their time and talents to
benefit their communities through volunteer service. Volunteering is so
pervasive in the United States that it can be observed daily in almost
every aspect of life.
In a typical year, about one-fifth of the American population, more
than 62 million people, serve as volunteers, according to U.S.
government statistics. They contribute more than 8 billion hours of
service to local and national groups, valued conservatively at $173
billion.

U.S. Teenagers Volunteer in Their
Communities
That
statement is
as true today as it was in the 19th century. Of the almost 65 million
Americans who performed volunteer service in 2012, about 18 million of
them were teenagers in secondary school. In fact, more than a quarter
of all teenagers aged 16–19 volunteered to help their
communities. Many teens find volunteering so rewarding that they
recruit their friends to join them.
With the help of the nonprofit organization Youth Venture, Katie Green
(above, right) has opened a New Hampshire chapter for teenage
volunteers called Service for Peace.
