We get it - as volunteers, you want flexible times!

Thank you to those who answered our survey earlier this year about personal barriers. Thanks to Anna Hykawy's Trent Community Research Centre project, "Behind the Helping Hand: Addressing Barriers to Volunteerism in Peterborough", we learned these factors deter volunteer participation:
- time commitment - 63 percent
- lack of transportation - 17 percent
- distance to the opportunity - 11 percent
- physical accessibility - 7 percent
