Serve Virginia, the lead agency of the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) for community service and volunteerism, recently released the inaugural Virginia Community Engagement Index (VCEI). The VCEI reveals information about how Virginians dedicate their time to the organizations and activities that serve their communities. Through a survey disseminated in January, Serve Virginia collected responses from more than 6,000 Virginians who provided insights on volunteerism, informal helping and other civic actions across the Commonwealth. According to the VCEI, Virginians dedicate their time to organizations that address the needs they care about most. Education (48%), health and well-being (47%) and housing (40%) ranked as priority needs facing their communities.
