Engaging Youth in Lifelong Service reports that adults who engaged in volunteering in their youth give more money and volunteer more time than adults who began their philanthropy later in life.
Key findings:
*44% of adults volunteer and 2/3 of these volunteers began volunteering their time when they were young.
*Adults who began volunteering as youth are 2x as likely to volunteer as those who did not volunteer when they were
younger.
*High school volunteering recently reached the highest levels in the past 50 years.
*In every income and age group, those who volunteered as youth give and volunteer more than those who did not.
*Those who volunteered as youth and whose parents volunteered became the most generous adults in giving time.
