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.

  • 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.

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.
