Insights On Motivating Young People To Volunteer

Contributed by Service-Learning Northwest, this research study's findings conclude that young people are interested in active citizenship but don't always go out of their way to volunteer. The report identifies four themes:

• Role of technology in redefining "community"
• The gap between wanting to volunteer and actually doing so
• The support young people need for volunteering
• Strategies for moving young people from "wanting" to "doing" volunteer work
