Volunteer time worth $17.19/hour
The time we invest in the community has increased in
value to $17.19 per hour, according to the Independent Sector.
The value of volunteer time is based on the average hourly earnings
of all non-agricultural workers as determined by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Independent Sector takes this figure and
increases it by 12% to estimate for fringe benefits. In 2002-03,
when the value of the volunteer hour was $16.54, Verizon
TelecomPioneers contributed more than $35 million worth of service
to communities throughout the U.S. |
