Volunteers’ professional skills go largely untapped
Despite a need for more resources, the vast majority of non-profit organisations in the USA are not capitalising on the valuable professional skills of their volunteers.
More than three quarters of non-profit leaders (77 percent) believe that skilled volunteers could significantly improve their organization's business practices. Yet just 12 percent of non-profits actually put volunteers to work on such assignments.
