These days children and teenagers are not interested in helping others or doing any
social work, or do we know any young people who are currently working in a social or
voluntary program? The answer is probably no. Therefore, it is important that schools
and universities encourage volunteering. I believe that volunteering has more benefits
than children and young people can learn that negative effects.

In effect, volunteering makes adolescents more responsible and grateful for the
opportunities they have. Although many students oppose mandatory community service
because they do not have enough time to participate. Many community service
programs offer specific times so students can manage their schedules to participate in
them. Therefore, they would learn to be more responsible with their schedule.

Also, in volunteering you can learn new skills, for example, if you participate in
volunteering with children you can learn how to take care of them and work with them.
Despite the fact that many believe it is a waste of time and that they are not academic
assignments; therefore, they will not help young people to enter university, I believe
that the social skills they learn from volunteering will serve you for any job and also in
family relationships, for example, you will be responsible with your schedules and you
will learn to care for and understand children.

In conclusion, a volunteer program includes many social skills such as responsibility and
sensitivity, which helps us in work and family relationships; therefore, it is important
that we participate in them.
