14. Family Volunteering: The Ties That Bind (1995)
An Introduction to Preparing Your Agency for Family Volunteers
Authors: Kristen Porrit
Volunteer Centres and Bureaux across Canada recruit and refer volunteers to a wide range of human service organizations in their communities. For the United Nations International Year of the Family in 1994, the Volunteer Action Centre of Kitchener-Waterloo and Area decided to highlight the potential of families volunteering together. The Voluntary Action Program of the federal Department of Canadian Heritage regularly researches and reports on innovations in the recruitment of volunteers, and was happy to publish this report.
The report is intended to guide agencies through the process of involving family groups in programs and projects. We hope agencies that already use this excellent source of volunteers will also find useful suggestions to support their programs, and we encourage them to spread the word about family volunteering.
Organizations that have used family volunteers in their programs cannot say enough good things about what families bring to the agencies they work with and the people they support.

18. How to Estimate the Economic Contribution of Volunteer Work (1994)
Authors: David Ross
It is sometimes useful for a voluntary organization to be able to calculate the value of volunteer time donated to it or to the voluntary sector as a whole. Such calculations can gain public good will by showing the hard dollar value of the voluntary sector's contribution to the community. They can also help potential contributors and funding agencies appreciate the cash value of the non- money resources contributed to a project by the local community. This booklet is designed to help voluntary organizations calculate the value of volunteer time in a community.
