The Utah Commission on Volunteers improves Utah's volunteer infrastructure by strengthening existing networks of Volunteer Connector Centers, and improving the ability of nonprofits to effectively use volunteers in both short- and long-term roles. The Volunteer Generation Fund grants are used for both MLK and 9/11 National Days of Service to raise public awareness of volunteerism and generate interest in service. In the first two years of Volunteer Generation Fund grants, volunteers gave 155,000 hours of service. In year three more Volunteer Center Organizations will be trained through the Volunteer Management Training certification and MLK and 9/11 grants will again be available.
