Summary/Abstract: Youth volunteering is a powerful tool to promote social engagement and civic responsibility in today's society. Through their participation in various volunteering initiatives, young people acquire and develop important skills such as teamwork, leadership and communication. At the same time, they contribute to solving the most pressing social problems. This type of volunteering bridges the gap between individual effort and collective responsibility, engaging young people in social causes and creating a culture of mutual support. Young people become active participants in building stronger and more cohesive communities, collaborating with other stakeholders and seeking innovative solutions in initiating and supporting activities in areas such as education, ecology, social care, culture and others.
