National
Volunteering Issues Survey
Volunteering
Australia invites all volunteers and not for profit
organisations that involve volunteers to participate
in the 2008 National Survey of Volunteering Issues.
The
National Survey of Volunteering Issues helps Volunteering
Australia understand what issues are emerging in the
sector and what factors help and hinder effective
volunteering. Volunteering Australia uses this information
to formulate policy positions to put to government,
and also to target where our research and consultation
efforts should be directed.
This
is the third National Survey of Volunteering, which
includes questions and themes from previous years’
surveys to enable us to compare and track volunteering
trends, as well as including some new themes such
as corporate/employee volunteering, the measurement
of volunteer contribution and volunteers’ sense of
community belonging. The survey has also been refined
to make it easier for you to respond.
The
survey takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. The
survey is open until 16th March and can be accessed
on the homepage of Volunteering Australia’s website:
www.volunteeringaustralia.org
The
2008 National Survey of Volunteering Issues report
will be released during National Volunteer Week (12-18
May 2008).
