10.01.2022 Service has long been recognised as a fundamental feature of Rotary membership. But neither Rotary nor any of the other major service organisations have been ab...le to gain a meaningful handle on the actual scale or economic value of the volunteer effort they mobilise. Now, an international report has powerfully demonstrated the significant renewable resource of volunteering that service organisations like Rotary are generating. The recent worldwide study on the ‘The Scope and Scale of Rotary Volunteering’, conducted by the John Hopkins Centre for Civil Society Studies found that: Rotary’s 1.2 million members volunteered a total of nearly 5.8 million hours in the four-week reference period. Taking out the hours of volunteering associated with World Polio Day, which fell in the survey reference period, Rotary members accounted for close to 5.1 million hours of volunteering. Rotary annually mobilises volunteer effort equivalent to nearly 27,000 full-time paid workers. Rotary volunteers save communities an estimated US$850 million in service costs per year. Our members are responsible for 47 million hours of volunteering per year. Average volunteer hours per month varied by region, with the average hours in Australia and New Zealand being six. These statistics do not include the more than one million friends and relatives of members who frequently help out at Rotary-organised volunteering events. Nor do they include the volunteering contributed by more than 700,000 members of Rotary’s Rotaract, Interact or Community Corp affiliates. The study concludes that: ‘Rotary is annually generating a scale of social and economic problem-solving effort that is worth nearly nine times more than it costs the organisation to produce. Here is a powerful demonstration of the enormous leveraging possibilities available from mobilising the unique renewable resource represented by volunteer work.’ Check out the full story in the September edition of Rotary Down Under.
