Volunteerism and Community Service
Youth philanthropy educates young people about social change in order to identify community problems and design the most appropriate solutions in a systemic way.[3] Philanthropy in this case is defined as anything young people do to make the world around them a better place.[4]
Focused on youth-adult partnerships and youth voice, youth philanthropy is seen as a successful application of service learning[5]. Youth philanthropy helps young people develop skills, knowledge, confidence and leadership abilities.[6] Youth philanthropy is also identified as a particularly effective means for educating children and youth about volunteerism and civic engagement.[7]
