PND - News - Value of Volunteer Time Up 60 Cents in 2009

PND - News - Value of Volunteer Time Up 60 Cents in 2009

This news took me somewhat by surprise. Volunteer time is now valued at $20.85 per hour in 2009. That value is a $.60 increase from the previous year. While I value volunteers tremendously, I do have to wonder about compensation levels for paid staff working at nonprofits. What type of message are organizations sending to paid employees by valuing volunteer time at such a high level?
