Religious and Educational institutions received the bulk of America's volunteer hours in 2013. These significant percentages suggest what Americans are most passionate about and what society values most. I find this interesting because 3/7 volunteers in the US are married. I wonder if other categories would be more prominent if singles put in more hours.
Likewise, the National Charity League, especially the Gateway Chapter, would be interested to know this!
