Civic Engagement and Volunteering Supplement

The U.S. Census Bureau and AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, today announced release of the 2023 Current Population Survey (CPS), Civic Engagement and Volunteering (CEV) Supplement Microdata File. It is the most robust longitudinal survey about volunteerism and other forms of civic engagement in the United States.

The data support evidence-based decision-making and efforts to understand how people make a difference in communities across the country. The 2023 CEV also introduces a new measure of virtual volunteering, making it the first federal survey to include such a measure.
