Nowadays, it is important to encourage young people on activism or volunteering for several reasons. Apart from being a source of social energy to help ones in need, it is also an experiential way of empowering young people to play an active civil role in the development of a democratic and social society. Young people show, that they most volunteer in city neighbourhood organizations or local activist groups, and at least in student clubs. Experiences of volunteering, can be positive and negative. Positive are: personal development, well-being and community impact. Young people feel that they have developed self-confidence, self-esteem and learned new organizational, communication skills, and skills connected with working in groups. Volunteering provides an opportunity to explore one's own interests, capacities and talents.
