Fewer college students volunteer their time
According to a recent article in the Shreveport Times (Shreveport, LA), the percentage of college students who volunteer is declining, reflecting an overall drop in volunteerism nationally. In 2010, 26.1 percent of college students around the United States volunteered, about on par with the overall percentage of Americans who volunteered that year. College student volunteerism peaked at 31.2 percent in 2004, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service.
