Abstract
Volunteers working in community programs make a difference in many neighborhoods, counties, and states. But, the value of a volunteer program is sometimes overlooked. Documenting the value of volunteer programs helps to celebrate success today and promote growth in the future. The manager of a volunteer program is in a good position to monitor and report the success and value of that program.
