This is 29% of the total volunteer hours logged across the organization. Advanced Build Build Education Internet Access Internships and Job Training Recycling Replication Reuse and E-Waste Diversion Volunteer & Community Service Volunteers logged 86,156 of service in 2010. 29% were in the adoption program. 49% were in the build related programs. 23% were logged in other programs, including volunteer internships -- though throughout the year, some part of the internship programs were not logged separately as internship hours and were instead logged within the build or adoption program. At the end of the year we became more consistent about logging internship hours in the internship program. Over the course of the year, we had an average of 543 active volunteers. This number goes up and down from day to day depending on how many volunteers have logged at least three hours in the last 31 days. The yearly low was 439 active volunteers in January, due likely to weather and holiday issues in December of 2009. The high was 622 in March. Other highlights Overhead Fundraising
