TurnTo10 - Local News - Study: Rhode Islanders Not Stepping Up As Volunteers

TurnTo10 - Local News - Study: Rhode Islanders Not Stepping Up As Volunteers: "hode Islanders are among the stingiest in the nation when it comes to volunteering, according to a new national report.

Less than a quarter -- 24.9 percent -- of Rhode Islanders 16 and older served as volunteers between 2003 and 2005, according to a study conducted by the Corporation for National and Community Service. That ranked Rhode Island 45th in the nation. It tied with Arizona."
