Title: Attitudinal Changes in Adolescent Volunteers
Author: Cavalier, Christine M.
Description: This research is a study of the attitudes and motivations of 7th and 8th grade adolescents who were required to volunteer as part of a course requirement. Southeast Ohio Appalachian students were surveyed before their volunteering began and again after five months. This researcher wondered whether starting volunteering at a younger age than high school leads to increased interest in volunteering later. Charities and organisations that utilize volunteers have long been interested in recruiting and retaining volunteers. Studying the motives of volunteers has helped organizations plan their programs around meeting the needs of the volunteers. The young adolescent volunteer has not been studied as extensively. This research found the adolescent volunteers were motivated by positive feelings and feedback. A majority of the students indicated they would continue to volunteer in the future.
