The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics just released a report that showed on an average day in 2022, more than 11 million people volunteered! The BLS further broke it down by age and sex. Do you track how many people volunteer each day in your organization? How about volunteer demographics? A Volunteer Management System (VMS) can track metrics that inform your volunteer engagement strategy. If you have a VMS in place at your organization, how did you identify your organization’s requirements around demographics reporting? If you are at the beginning stages, check out our VMS Buyers Guide. https://lnkd.in/gdQ2VZPe #VolunteerManagement #CommunityService #OfferoVMS Image: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
