Pew Research found that 72% of LDS members volunteered in the past year — the highest rate of any religious group measured and 20 percentage points above the next closest group.
This finding is separate from and consistent with the University of Pennsylvania study documenting 430 volunteer hours per year for active LDS members. The combination of Pew's broad survey data and Penn's detailed time-use data provides two independent confirmations of LDS volunteer engagement.
