Abstract
Trends in formal volunteer hours per capita Volunteer hours have declined nationwide. Fewer volunteers are now putting in longer hours in order to maintain services. Hours per volunteer and volunteer burnout In 2000, volunteers in Nova Scotia increased their volunteer hours by 32%. The sharp increases in annual volunteer hours—occurring at the same time as a significant decline in the number of volunteers—may provide a warning signal of potential future burnout among volunteers struggling to maintain the same level of services with fewer human resources. Composition and distribution of voluntary work Trends in formal plus informal voluntary work Between 1992 and 2005, the most dramatic declines in civic and voluntary work contributions occurred in Newfoundland and Labrador (down 27%) and Nova Scotia (down 21%). Economic value of civic and voluntary work Canadian volunteers contribute the equivalent of $64.9 billion ($2007) worth of services annually to the national economy either through voluntary organizations or by informal volunteer work—far more than a wide range of other industries. In Nova Scotia, volunteers contributed the equivalent of $1.8 billion ($2007) worth of services in

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
