Are rankings the most important aspect of the Volunteering in America release?
While state and city volunteer rankings are one method for showing improvements in a city or state, it is not the most important aspect of the site. VolunteeringInAmerica.gov provides a current landscape of volunteering and service in American communities, and allows communities to see what groups of individuals are or are not volunteering, what service activities are being performed, and through which types of organizations. The site also provides tools, tips and effective practices to help nonprofits, communities and civic leaders develop and implement their service agenda, strengthen their volunteer recruitment efforts, and deepen their volunteers’ commitment to service. The wealth of information available on the site is an important platform to develop volunteer growth strategies and build the civic infrastructure of nonprofits and communities.
