Studies have shown volunteering can have lifelong benefits for youth and help
develop skills that will benefit them in life, school, and future career. First,
volunteering can lead to a greater feeling of self-worth because helping others
can help teens reflect on what they have and become more empathetic to
everyone in their lives.

People who volunteer when they are young are more likely to volunteer and
donate to non-profit and charity funds when they are older. Moreover,
volunteering can also help teens academically. There is a positive link between
students who earn good grades and those who are involved in community
service. Finally, voluntary work helps teens gain new skills which are necessary
for the job market such as leadership, communication skills, dependability, time
management, and decision making.
