Volunteering

Consider the following scenario: You are a parent of an adolescent. The School Board recently approved a measure making adolescent volunteer experience a graduation requirement. Your adolescent child does not want to do this, and it is your job to convince him/her to do it.

Make an argument based on what you know about adolescents and volunteering that will help to convince your adolescent that s/he should do the volunteering.

Note: Be sure to base this on what the research shows about adolescents and volunteering.
