Why should school students study volunteering?

Because volunteering isn’t just about giving back, it’s about growing forward.

Studying volunteering gives students more than just a chance to help others. It teaches them practical skills, strengthens their understanding of community, and helps shape them into engaged, capable, and compassionate citizens.

Schools Courses

Here’s what students gain: 
  • Skills for Life: Communication, teamwork, leadership, time management—volunteering helps students develop skills they’ll use in school, work, and beyond.
  • Personal Growth: Volunteering builds confidence, empathy, and resilience. It encourages students to reflect on their values and understand different perspectives.
  • A Deeper Connection to Community: Students learn about the real needs in their local area and feel empowered to contribute in meaningful ways.
  • Links to Learning and Careers: Volunteering ties in with subjects like Civics, Social Studies, and Work Education—and it opens doors to future study or careers in areas like health, community services, and education.
  • A Lasting Impact: Introducing volunteering early helps create lifelong habits of contribution, compassion, and civic participation. 

When students study volunteering, they’re not just learning—they’re leading.

It’s a powerful way to bring values, education, and real-world experience together.
