2023 CEV Findings: Volunteering and Civic Life in America Toplines
The Current Population Survey Civic Engagement and Volunteering (CEV) Supplement is the most robust longitudinal survey about volunteerism and other forms of civic engagement in the United States. Produced by AmeriCorps in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, the CEV takes the pulse of our nation’s civic health every two years. The CEV can support evidence-based decision making and efforts to understand how people make a difference in communities across the country.
The findings on this page are based on data collected in September of 2023. All figures are weighted to account for the random selection of eligible respondents and missing data due to nonresponse. Please see column descriptions for details.
A spreadsheet with topline figures is provided as an attachment along with additional resources about the CEV data. Click on "Show More" to see the full page, then scroll down to "Attachments" and click to download each resource individually.
