In the United States, almost everyone, at one time or
another, has been a volunteer. According to the US.
Government statistics, about one-fifth of the American
population does volunteer work each year. Americans have
had the tradition of volunteering and helping one another
since the early days of the country.
Americans volunteer not because they are forced or paid

to do it. They enjoys it! Traditional volunteer activities
include raising money for people in need, cooking and
giving food, doing general labour (such as clean-up projects
and home repair), providing transportation (such as giving
rides to the elderly), tutoring/mentoring young people.
(adapted from “Volunteering: An American Tradition” by Susan
J.Ellis and Katherine H. Campbell in eJournal USA: The spirit of
Volunteerism. U.S. Department of State,2012)
