Good start, right direction, more to do. That's the takeaway when United Way looks at its
current state of volunteerism.
An unprecedented number of people are now engaged in meaningful acts of volunteering
that go beyond short-term charity to drive lasting change, by focusing on the cornerstones
of education, nancial stability and health. And the numbers of committed volunteers
continue to rise.
While United Way is uniquely positioned to drive community solutions across the world,
the research, data and stories in this report serve as a reminder. United Way must continue
to engage ever more people in community solutions and to continue to tap into people's
passions, skills and expertise as a way to change the world.
