volunteer, types of organizations for which they volunteer, the 
activities in which volunteers participate, and the prevalence of

detailed demographic information collected in the CPS will be available 
about respondents to the supplement. Thus, comparisons of volunteer 
activities will be possible across respondent characteristics, 
including sex, race, age, and educational attainment. It is intended 
that the supplement will be conducted annually, if resources permit, in 
order to gauge changes in volunteerism.
