Are young Aussies self-absorbed? Their keenness to volunteer says otherwise

Press/Media: Article/Feature

Description

Last year, 73 per cent of young Australians aged 18 to 24 volunteered in organised activities at least once over those previous 12 months. However, 86 per cent of young Aussies were subjected to various barriers when attempting to become involved with organised activities on issues that were important to them. These statistics were revealed through a new discussion paper presented by the Monash Centre for Youth Policy and Education Practice, which explores the positive opportunities that volunteering offers young people.
