Did you know volunteer hours have a financial value? @IndSector has released the value for every state. Iowa is $23.41/hour, which means....

volunteers working with the Clarence Main Street produced $5665.22 in value last month. 🙌🏻
It's #NationalVolunteerWeek and @IndSector released the new value of #volunteer time of $25.43 an hour. Last year, Main Streets clocked 2.15M volunteer hours across the country! Visit independentsector.org/valuev… to learn about the value in your state (including DC and Puerto Rico!).
Congratulations to Mary Means, who was officially honored with the @APA_Planning Excellence Award for Planning Pioneers! Mary Means sparked and has led the movement in main street revitalization for nearly four decades. youtu.be/70TyrwSgYbc
