Lancaster Online.com: Top Local News : A giving generation: "According to a federal study, teens like Singer are on the rise.
The “Youth Helping America” study reports that 55 percent of the nation’s teenagers volunteered in 2004.
In fact, teens volunteer twice as much as adults, according to the 2005 study by the federal government’s Corporation for National & Community Service in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau and Independent Sector, a coalition of nonprofit philanthropy groups.
The study says that these 15.5 million teens racked up 1.3 billion hours of service.
At home, it’s fair to say that Lancaster County teens contributed thousands of hours to that national number.
