Childhood is the stage where values, confidence and a sense of capability begin to develop โ making it a natural time to introduce children to empathy, community andย volunteering
Research suggests that volunteering at a young age can contribute to confidence, resilience and mental well-being, as well as social skills, initiative and responsibility
Additional studies have found that childrenโs volunteering also positively influences their surroundings, encouraging involvement and volunteering among families and parents as well
On the Knowledge & Research page you can find studies, articles and additional information on the topic
