Kindling points of light: volunteering as public policy
1989
Chambre, S.M.
Over the past thirty years, government and voluntary-sector initiatives have stimulated both expansion of the number of volunteers and greater participation by young people, the elderly, and non-whites. Despite the high priority given to volunteering by the Reagan administration, federally sponsored programs did not expand, the proportion of Americans engaged in volunteering declined, and more volunteers shifted into organizations affected by reductions in human services. The idea that reducing services would motivate people to volunteer was based on invalid assumptions about the ideology of volunteers and the factors that motivate people to work for free. A synergistic rather than a competitive relationship might exist between the public and the voluntary sectors.
