The survey asked about various activities that adults might be engaged or interested in to get a sense of what respondents are interested in and to generate ideas for additional services through PCOA or in partnership with other community organizations. Close to one-third of all respondents were actively engaged in volunteer work and slightly more than one-quarter were interested in volunteerism though percentage did decrease with age. The following table depicts the activities that adults are engaged in and where there is interest or not being sure if they are interested (table omits not interested category).
