increased willingness of future volunteering for participants

gesellschaftliche Partizipation

It is found that previous experience in social action - that is to say, taking part in one of the Provider initiatives - significantly boosts interest in volunteering opportunities again in the future, although it is clear that this is not the same as taking action. Young People who participated in the Citizenship Foundation programme were significantly more willing to participate in in-group volunteering. Notably, however, there was no difference in willingness to volunteer with out-groups based on student's participation. Those who participated in Envision's social action were considerably more likely to be willing to volunteer with both in-groups and out-groups. Similarily, the young people who participated in VAWK/IMAGO's social action programme also indicated higher levels of willingness to volunteer in both in-group and out-group populations.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Quantitative Fragebogenerhebung (schriftlich/offline)
It was decided that randomised controlled trials would be used to determine programme impact. By taking a large enough group of trial participants, it is possible to allocate participants such that some receive "treatment" (in this case, participation in a social action initiative) and some do not. Those that do not are referred to as the "control" group.
I would like to learn more about how I can spend my own time helping people in my community in the future (in group volunteering); I would like to learn more about how I can spend my own time helping people in other countries in the future (out group volunteering).
