South Australia just hit a major milestone: over one million volunteers powering the state’s economy with a $45 billion contribution last year. Young people are leading the charge—with 74% of 25-34-year-olds and 73% of 15-24-year-olds volunteering, averaging over 377 hours annually. These efforts fuel everything from sports clubs to crisis response, boosting community well-being and connection. But volunteers shoulder $8.6 billion in personal costs and lost income, prompting calls for stronger support as living costs rise. In South Australia, the heart of the economy beats through the generosity of its people.
