Teen Volunteerism On
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) —A recent Gallup Poll blasts
the notion that teenagers spend
hours after school yakking on the
phone or blaring the stereo. In real
ity, many devote several hours a
week to church, school or com
munity service.
"This survey showed teens vol
unteering at the same rate as adults
or higher," says Dr. Robert Lewis,
professor of 4-H youth in Penn
State's College of Agricultural Sci
ences. "In 1989, 58 parent of
American teens volunteered, com
pared with 54 percent of adults."
Teens reported getting involved
in areas of art, culture, and human
ities (78 percent), education (74
percent), human services (55 per
cent) and environmental causes
(52 percent).
While parents unconsciously
may influence students to volun
teer, the 14- to 17- year-olds who
responded to the survey said the
stimulus came from extracurricu
lar activities (79 percent), schools
(52 percent) and churches (SO
percent).

Among the most important of
these extracurricular activities is
4-H, says Lewis. "The 4-H prog
ram in Pennsylvania and across the
nation encourages young people to
be leaders in their communities."
he says.
"In 4-H, we recognize that teens
have a great capacity for learning,"
he says. "They respond quickly to
new ideas and opportunities for
service. Teens also want a role in
solving social, economic and polit
ical problems. They need a crea
tive outlet for their energy."
Through 4-H leadership programs,
teens learn about planning and
conducting programs and commu
nicating effectively with a variety
of audiences. At annual retreats
and events such as Capital Days,
they learn about citizenship and
working within the political sys
tem to make a difference.
As a result of 4-H leadership
development, many teens become
involved in outreach programs for
troubled youths, neighborhood
crime watch programs, and com
munity health care and bcautifica-

tion programs,
"In 4-H, wc even see kids inspir
ing their parents to become
involved and serve as volunteer
leaders," Lewis says.
According to another Gallup
Poll, adult volunteerism increased
almost 10 percent from 1988 to
1990. Many credit President
Bush's "Thousand Points of Light"
message as inspiration. Others say
budget cuts for social programs
have prompted concerned indivi
duals to devote their time and
attention towards solving prob
lems such as child abuse, home
lessness and alcoholism.
Whatever the reason, volunteer
ism has positive effects all around.
"Volunteers increase their self
esteem, discover new talents and
develop leadership skills," says
Lewis.
"Young people who volunteer
can increase their chances of find
ing profitable employment. Vol
unteerism also can open career
doors for adults. For older adults,
volunteerism offers thepnnortuni
ty to remain active and continue
making a contribution to society."
