A nonprofit would be just an idea without the volunteers that power the steam in your organization. However, volunteer burnout is a very real thing, and being civic minded doesn’t necessarily make a person an effective volunteer.
A recent study by Pantheon Institute showed that the estimated value of volunteer time was $23.56 per hour—pretty significant for individuals working without pay. According to the Corporation for National Community Service, about 23.5% of the adult population gave 7.9 billion hours of volunteer service. How do you make the most of this critical time without burning out your most valuable assets, your volunteers?
