Description
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible correlation of volunteering in school to becoming a lifelong volunteer. Former studies have shown that
volunteering in undergraduate programs can have a positive effect for years afterwards. Therefore graduate program volunteer experiences should also cultivate professionals to develop lifelong habits of volunteerism. Methods: A survey was written and distributed to Michigan optometrists to explore the participant's experience in volunteer work in high school, college, and during their professional career. The completed surveys were anonymous and collected by mail. Results: The results of this study are included, separated into groups dependent on volunteer activities and/or organizations during each facet of these professionals' careers. Conclusions: Analyzing these results positively demonstrates that volunteer involvement throughout a student's educational years does result in continued service related activities throughout his or her professional life. |
