It is important for young people to recognise the benefit of volunteering build self-esteem and confidence, personal growth and satisfaction, being a part of something meaningful by helping others and create positive impact to the lives of fellow young people and or the community.
Increases young people social capital by meeting new people, making new friends through network and provide the opportunities to develop new social and creative relationships.

Young people wanting to make a larger impact in the world.
