Actually, I am wrong. The educational attainment only applies to those 25 years old and older.

Patrick,

Let me dig further into the tables and see what we can find… that’s an interesting point. I also seem to recall more volunteer opportunities in college (which would seem to suggest that ‘some college’ should be higher).

Furthermore, through work I am also introduced to other opportunities to volunteer. I’ll see what I can find and give you another post this week!

I think there is a correlation between married couples (especially those with children) volunteering because they tend to have more opportunities for volunteering. Almost all childrens' activities rely on volunteers for support. There may also be a correlation between education and volunteerism which could be due to economics or the number of hours worked. That would be a little more difficult to prove, but it would be an interesting study. .-= Patrick´s last blog ..H&R Block At Home (formerly TaxCut) 2009 Tax Season =-.
