In a 2003 survey, AARP found that "About half (51%) the 45 and older population report volunteering when asked [whether]...they volunteer for a non-profit, charity, school, hospital, religious organization, neighborhood association, civic or other group...an additional 36% reported behaviors that were not captured by the traditional volunteering question but could be considered to be in service to communities or persons." (AARP, 2003: 6).
