WORKING TOGETHER As a nonprofit organization, MADD understands the power and importance of volunteers and working together as a community to provide education and awareness about the danger of substance-impaired driving and un- derage drinking and to support those in our community who have been affected by a crash. Volunteers have stood and continue to stand with us every step of the way towards a future of No More Victims.

How Do We Measure a Volunteers Value?

According to the Independent Sector, in 2017, the value of a volunteer hour is $24.14—up 2.5 percent from the previous year. Currently, over 63 million Americans volunteer about 8 billion hours of their time, talent and effort to improve people’s lives and the natural world. That’s a contri- bution of $193 billion to our country.
