Volunteerism
- More than 715,000 volunteer each year giving 94.22 million hours of service.
- 46.5% of our population give to charity every year.
- Almost 70% of us look for ways to incorporate informal volunteering into our lives – or just plain finding ways to help our neighbor.
In fact, the Corporation for National and Community Service explains that the same factors that make Oklahoma City a great place to live – like home ownership levels, short commutes, high education levels, low foreclosure rates and low unemployment – are also indicative of why Oklahoma City has such a high volunteer rate. It all goes together.
