Research reveals that young volunteers are most likely to come from families where someone volunteers. Most say they want to help people, and they"re most likely to believe they can make a difference in their communities. Those are the findings among the data released by The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE). The research on youth volunteering trends found that 50% of young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who volunteer were more likely to grow up in a family where someone spent time volunteering; while 65% of youth who do not volunteer followed their non-volunteering family"s lead. Further, the data showed that 60percent of young people who volunteered came from a household where politics was discussed.
