feeling disengaged and disconnected from the community

soziale Inklusion

A significant number of youth described initial volunteer experiences that left them feeling disengaged and disconnected from any sort of community. Some youth quit volunteering at this point, while others persevered and began volunteering in other organizations which offered them a sense of community.
