April 18, 2019 Volunteer Value for FY 2019 = $25.43
The FY19 figure for the value of service per hour of volunteer time is $25.43. When entering FY19 volunteer data in NRM Assessment later this year, this value will be auto-calculated for you.
The value of volunteer time is based on the average hourly earnings of all production and nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls (as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics). https://independents ector.org/resource/vovt_details/ For consistency, it is the rate used by all of the federal land management agencies to calculate their volunteer value each year.
I've also attached a volunteer value time by state, just so you can see how they compare. HOWEVER, we will use the national rate of $25.43 for our calculations. Heather Burke National Partnership Program Manager
