| Abstract | Often when society discusses young people the focus tends to be on social and personal issues, such as anti-social behaviour, underage drinking, school bullying, and poor mental health. By comparison, much less time is spent considering the valuable role which young people play in their communities. This Research Update aims to redress this imbalance by highlighting the positive contribution that young people make to society through voluntary activities. It will also evidence the positive experiences that volunteering has given young people, which include providing opportunities for them to meet people who are different to them, racially, socially, politically, or religiously. |
