SINGAPORE – The first study on the volunteer experience here has found that the top two reasons why volunteers continue to give their time and effort are the difference they are making and because they believe in what the organisation stands for.
She said this helps NCSS to better support non-profit organisations to strengthen volunteer management practices, enabling volunteers to better support those in need. The most common reason for stopping volunteering was the lack of time due to changing circumstances, which was cited by 43.9 per cent of participants.Of those polled, about four in 10 were aged between 25 and 44, while 34.6 per cent were aged 45 to 64.The study found that young adults were more likely to feel that volunteering improved their employment prospects as it allows them to improve and gain new skills and experiences.
