Valuing volunteer services
- Appreciating non-monetarized work
- Raising appreciation of unpaid civil service
- Strengthening status of volunteers
Description
Valuing volunteer services involves systematically recognizing, measuring, and integrating the economic and social contributions of volunteers into organizational and community planning. This strategy ensures that volunteer efforts are acknowledged, resources are allocated appropriately, and the impact of unpaid work is made visible. By assigning value to volunteer activities, organizations can address underestimation of contributions, improve resource mobilization, and strengthen advocacy for volunteer-supported initiatives, ultimately enhancing sustainability and effectiveness of social and community programs.
Context
Around 26 million people in the UK have jobs. The remainder -- and far more women than men -- do work for which they are not paid, like housework.
