Civic Engagement: Volunteering


Being involved in a combined program of mentoring and community service results in a greater likelihood of future community service. For instance, in Across Ages, participants who received the combined positive youth development curriculum and mentoring were significantly more likely to engage in community service than youth in the control group. Participants in the Quantum Opportunities Program were more likely than youth in the control group to volunteer and were less likely than youth in the control group to be involved with the police.
