In order to better understand volunteering in America, AARP’s Office of Volunteer and Civic Engagement commissioned a telephone survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,003 adults age 18 and older. The study assessed people’s thoughts about remembering September 11, 2001, how remembering September 11th relates to service, and their overall perceptions about making a difference in their own communities.

Most respondents (59%) prefer to observe September 11th in a private manner, while three in ten prefer to observe the day in a public manner (31%).

The majority (71%) think giving their time has the greatest impact, compared with contributing money (17%). Almost all (95%) think giving their time can help ease problems in their community either a great deal (48%), somewhat (36%), or a little (10%). While approximately one-quarter of respondents (26%) believe service and volunteerism is a high national priority, more than one-half of respondents (56%) rate service and volunteerism as personally important to them.
