| Abstract/Description: | This research explores how volunteer service can be both included and impactful in strategies to address local challenges. Prior research would suggest that volunteer service has largely been overlooked when it comes to governmental efforts to solve society's biggest problems, particularly at the local level. Ignoring the potential for volunteer service in problem-solving approaches may hinder the development of effective problem-solving strategies. This research describes the ways cities drive demand for volunteer service. In particular, volunteer service demand can be explained through certain motivational bases(-)economic, aspirational, and need-based(-)together with various feasibility considerations. A grounded theory model for volunteer service demand from the perspective of the city and a generalized logic model for service as a strategy to address local challenges are presented. | |
