Volunteer Value for FY 2022 = $29.95
The FY22 figure for the value of service per hour of volunteer time is $29.95. When entering FY22 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://independentsector.org/value-of-volunteer-time-2022/

For consistency, it is the rate used by all of the federal land management agencies to calculate their volunteer value each year.
