Young People in Scotland Volunteering Survey. 45% of young people have formally volunteered, with the majority volunteering in their spare time. 9% of young people volunteer in both their spare time and in school time .
16-18 year olds are twice as likely to volunteer in school time than younger age groups
11-15 year olds are more likely to consider volunteering in the future than 16-18 year olds
More girls volunteer in their spare time than boys and girls are more likely to consider volunteering in the future
19% of boys expressed no interest in volunteering compared to only 9% of girls
The document summarizes survey results on youth volunteering in Scotland from 2019. It finds that 49% of youth participated in formal volunteering, providing 11 million hours annually, compared to 26% of adults. However, youth volunteered less frequently and intensely than adults. Informal volunteering rates were lower at 25% for youth versus 36% for adults. Parental encouragement was an important influence on youth volunteering participation. The benefits of volunteering for youth well-being were emphasized, in addition to career benefits.
This document summarizes survey findings about volunteering trends in Scotland that show overall levels of volunteering have declined since 2010. It finds that while regular volunteering has increased, occasional volunteering has decreased, driving the overall decline. A small proportion, 6%, contribute the majority, over 66%, of total volunteer hours and make up Scotland's "volunteer core".

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
