If you want to engage young volunteers, it is crucial to understand that they are more receptive to new ideas than other generations. Young volunteers are also open-minded, energetic, technology savvy, and enjoy participating in volunteer experiences within a social group.

It is also important to note that many young volunteers are career focused and are looking for training opportunities and skill attainment in exchange for their time commitment. Finally, many young volunteers (not all) need to fulfill community service hours for high school graduation or other extracurricular activities they are participating in.

local media

volunteering associations

volunteer center
