Youth Volunteering Share your volunteer ideas...

The Corporation for National and Community Service, in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau and the nonprofit coalition Independent Sector, in early 2005 conducted the first major federal survey of volunteering by teenagers in more than a decade. The survey collected information on the volunteering habits of youth between the ages of 12 and 18. A new Corporation study based on the survey, titled “Youth Helping America,” looks at the state of youth volunteering and the connections between youth volunteering and the primary social institutions to which teenagers are exposed – family, religious congregations, and schools.

Lets discuss your ideas and points of view on the importance of getting our youth and children involved in volunteer service?
