Sometimes people ask me what makes these young people spend their free time in the service of others instead of enjoying themselves doing what most teens usually do. Well, many young people decide to do voluntary work as they get the chance to feel good about themselves, because helping out with something they believe in can be very gratifying and enjoyable. They feel they can make a difference by being useful to someone in need. On the other hand, they can choose what they want to do. So they have the opportunity to get involved in issues they care about. At the same time, they meet other young people who have similar interests. They may make new friends, have fun, gain experience and confidence and develop their sense of responsibility and learn new skills that may be very useful in the future.
