Volunteer Activity Survey 2024

Volunteer Activity Survey 2024

The Volunteer Activities Survey (VAS) is a household survey conducted every four years as a module linked to the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS). The survey collects information on the volunteer activities (a maximum of three activities) of individuals 15 years and older in South Africa.

Volunteering is important in that it can be a means of gaining knowledge, applying one’s skills and extending social networks. VAS 2024 comprised two phases, where the first phase involves identifying individuals who were involved in volunteer activities, through the QLFS conducted in the third quarter of 2024 (Q3: 2024). Follow-up interviews were conducted during the second phase, with persons identified eligible for VAS 2024..
