Volunteerism: A Tool for Positive Youth Development
Lesson materials for Community Groups including Family Community Education Clubs (FCE)
The majority of youth in this country engage in some form of volunteer activity and many see the value of helping others. When youth volunteer, benefits are re aped by almost everyone involved - the targeted population, the community and the youth volunteers themselves. Volunteerism has important implications for positive youth development and it is thus essential that youth are encouraged to participate in such endeavors. This community program will explore the different types of and opportunities for youth volunteerism, the benefits of those experiences and the ways by which we can encourage young people to volunteer.
Lesson materials are available to community groups by contacting UNL Extension in Cuming County at 402-372-6006 or cuming-county@unl.edu. Request the number of copies needed or for more information.
