Youth volunteering dips, first time since 9/11

Youth volunteering dips, first time since 9/11: "Even so, an analysis of federal data has found that the percentage of teens who volunteer dipped in recent years, ending an upward trend that began after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

'They're still volunteering at higher rates than their parents did,' says Peter Levine, director of Tufts University's Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement, also known as CIRCLE."
