Women as Volunteers and Activists Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly 26,2, (June 1997): 156-174 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Jossey-Bass Keyword(s): Social Roles; Volunteer Work; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, Young Women's Cohort (N = 5,159) are used to explore characteristics associated with the likelihood of female volunteers engaging in activities to change social conditions & with the likelihood of female activists being volunteers. Results of logistic regression analysis suggest that volunteers are more likely to be activists to the extent that they perceive what they do as making a difference. Furthermore, they are likely to be found in organizations reflecting their own affinity for activism. Work decreases the extent to which women volunteer but does not affect their propensity for activism. Prior volunteer experience partially offsets decreased time devoted to voluntarism due to work. Implications regarding the relationship between voluntarism & activism are discussed, concluding with suggestions for promoting voluntary activism in general. 4 Tables, 2 Appendixes, 48 References.
