Half of American Teenagers Volunteer, Largely Because Their Friends Do - News - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: More than half of American teenagers and young adults volunteered last year, and the best way to enlist this group turns out to be peer pressure: Three quarters of people ages 13 to 22 whose friends volunteer regularly also do so, which is nearly twice the number of those who pursue voluntary activities based on their concern about particular social issues.
Those were the key findings of new research results released today by Do Something, a group working to get young people involved in social change.
