Research shows that volunteering helps improve employability and acts as a route to employment \u2013 among other positive outcomes<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

By Melanie Hientz<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weeding an organic farm in Costa Rica with a machete. Fertilizing the soil with cow dung. Eating dinner on a mountaintop with strangers from around the world.<\/p>\n

All things I never thought I\u2019d experience \u2013 and all of which took place on a single volunteer trip after graduating high school almost 15 years ago.<\/p>\n

At the time, I thought the whole thing was just an amazing experience in a neat place. So I was amused when I found myself drawing on that story in a job interview \u2013 with Volunteer Canada.<\/p>\n

Those days in rural South America had more of an impact on me than I had thought.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why would a young person volunteer in the first place?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2010, Volunteer Canada undertook a pan-Canadian study, Bridging the Gap: Enriching the Volunteer Experience to Build a Better Future for Our Communities<\/em>.[i]<\/a> I helped co-ordinate the research component of the study, and guide the roll-out of a series of subsequent Building the Bridge<\/em> tools for volunteers and volunteer-involving organizations. Bridging the Gap<\/em> explored the key motivations for volunteering among a number of Canadian cohorts, including youth. It revealed what Canadians are looking for in a volunteer experience today, and how organizations are engaging volunteers. The findings? There are a number of reasons why young people volunteer: professional, social and personal in nature.<\/p>\n

The professional benefits are likely obvious to you \u2013 young people can improve their skills, network, maybe even make connections with an organization, or in an area, where they could one day work.<\/p>\n

The social benefits are also deep and impactful. People become close with one another by going through things together \u2013 and volunteer experiences can be some of the best shared experiences, full of challenges and successes. Plus, it can grant you access to worlds you might never otherwise see.<\/p>\n

The personal benefits, meanwhile, are some of the most profound \u2013 and often overlooked. A young person can really learn about themselves, and figure out what they want \u2013 and don\u2019t want \u2013 out of life, by taking on volunteer opportunities. It builds character. It shows you your strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n

A national study in England found that youth volunteered for reasons that were altruistic first, then instrumental, in this order: to help someone in their community; to learn new skills; to respond to their needs or skills; to help gain experience to benefit their future career.[ii]<\/a><\/p>\n

It makes sense that a lot of young people would volunteer simply because it helps later in life with job security and networking \u2013 but it has a ream of other hidden benefits too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a dream job in mind? Start today <\/strong><\/p>\n

A relative of mine took business administration in undergrad and went on to start a landscaping business with a friend. A couple of years earlier, during university, he had become curious about firefighting \u2013 a childhood dream of his \u2013 so he signed on as a volunteer firefighter. Today, he\u2019s 10 years into an amazing career with a fire department near Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Studies have even shown that volunteering contributes to feelings of great confidence in youth, making them feel<\/em> more employable. Plus, employers have highlighted that volunteering is looked upon favourably on a CV, and that positive work ethic such as self-motivation is modelled in employees that have volunteered.[iii]<\/a> An American study recently tracked 70,000 jobless people for 10 years (between 2002 and 2012), and found that those who volunteered had a 27% better chance of finding a job than those that didn\u2019t.[iv]<\/a> There is considerable other research showing that volunteering helps improve employability and acts as a route to employment.<\/p>\n

Literature also shows that the effects of volunteering on gaining employment vary according to a number of factors (demographics, frequency of engagement, duration of unemployment, motivations for volunteering and the type of volunteer role), many of which have a combined effect.[v]<\/a> In other words, it is not a clear link to employment. However, several studies suggest that volunteering does, in the long term, contribute to \u201cindividual employability\u201d factors, as it can enhance knowledge and skills, build work attitudes and confidence, and improve mental and physical health and well-being.[vi]<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plus, Canadians are good volunteers<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re polite and friendly, sure, but did you know Canadians are also some of the most engaged volunteers in the world? In 2013, more than 12.7 million Canadians volunteered \u2013 that\u2019s 44% of the entire population. The federal government\u2019s 2013 General Social Survey \u2013 Giving, Volunteering and Participating<\/em> found that Canadian youth stand apart, volunteering more than any other age group at 53% of Canadians aged 15-24 volunteering.[vii]<\/a><\/p>\n

That said, in many of these studies \u2013 as is the case with most academic research \u2013 context matters. Canadian youth have the highest volunteer rate among cohorts, for instance, while British youth (aged 16 to 25) volunteer less than most other age groups.[viii]<\/a> Why? In Canada, there is a requirement in some school districts to perform community service to graduate from high school. The same Canadian youth also had a below average contribution of annual volunteer hours (126, compared to the national average of 154).[ix]<\/a> Mandatory volunteering in high school might partially explain this coupling of high youth volunteer rates and low hours contributed.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re not off the hook quite yet\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Altruism lives!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the end, the benefits of volunteering are as diverse as the motivations that get youth involved in the first place.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s consider one last thought: it\u2019s more than fine if young people\u2019s decision to volunteer has nothing to do with them. Our modern society \u2013 educated and advanced as it is \u2013 is plagued with social justice issues, problems so complex that it\u2019s nearly impossible for the public and non-profit sectors to solve them alone. The environmental crisis, mental health challenges, addiction, homelessness \u2013 the list goes on. The world needs volunteers.<\/p>\n

In fact, research has found a positive relationship between youth volunteering and increased civic engagement later in life.[x]<\/a> Volunteering influences peoples\u2019 development, not just their experience. Volunteers are getting out to vote, engaged in community service and contributing to building strong communities.<\/p>\n

Another research review of student volunteers highlighted the more frequently a person volunteered, the more likely they were to perceive altruistic motivations and benefits. In other words, the more someone is engaged in volunteering, the greater the impact they feel on personal and social levels.[xi]<\/a><\/p>\n

Youth may find their reason to volunteer is simply to help people, give their time to something positive and meaningful, or make the world a better place. But they shouldn\u2019t be surprised if they end up helping themselves in the process, too.<\/p>\n

I started volunteering because I thought it would be fun \u2013 a cool way to meet some interesting people and learn new things. As it turns out, it fundamentally shaped my career path. And today, I\u2019m working at a university I once dreamed of attending, working on projects I believe are making real, important social change \u2013 and the future looks just as bright.<\/p>\n
