Volunteerism plays a vital role in education, employment, and fulfilling the basic needs
The wave of youth-led transformational change processes in the Arab region has highlighted youth as a positive asset for peace and development. To address the challenges and aspirations of youth, volunteering provides a viable and sustainable mechanism that can turn their grievances and frustrations into positive energy and a social asset. Youth volunteering can engage young men and women in a range of activities that can improve their basic needs and quality of life. In addition, volunteerism can bridge the transition from formal and informal education to paid employment. In other words, the participation of young people in a range of volunteering activities can enhance their work-related skills and qualifications, and hence improve their readiness for employment
