Why Volunteerism?
- Young people involved in community service are more likely to have a strong work ethic as an adult.
- Youth who volunteer are three times more likely to volunteer as adults.
- Eighty-one percent of Americans who have volunteer experiences when they are young give to charitable organizations as adults.
- Young people are key agents for social change, and are providing the energy, creative ideas and determination to drive innovation and reform.
- Volunteerism is an important, and increasingly popular, mechanism for young people to bring about positive change in society, and it is becoming more and more relevant as a mechanism to engage young people in global peace and sustainable human development.
