Long-term consequences of youth volunteering: Voluntary versus involuntary service
Open accessAbstract
Despite the renewed interest in youth volunteering in recent years, there remain major gaps in our knowledge of its consequences. Drawing data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we examine the long-term effects of youth volunteering on the civic and personal aspects of volunteers' lives. Our results suggest that youth volunteering has a positive return on adult volunteering only when it is voluntary, and that net of contextual factors neither voluntary nor involuntary youth service has a significant effect on adult voting. Regarding personal outcomes, our findings indicate that the psychological benefits of youth volunteering accrue only to voluntary participants, whereas both voluntary and involuntary youth service are positively associated with educational attainment and earnings in young adulthood. Taken together, these results lend support to the case for youth volunteer programs, though the civic benefits of these programs appear to be less dramatic than generally suggested.

In a longitudinal study of 3032 U.S. high school students, youth volunteering had a positive effect on adult civic engagement only when done voluntarily.

From The Effect of Civic Engagement on Different Dimensions of Well-Being in Youth: A Scoping Review (2025) · cites this paper as Kim and Morgül (2017)
The Results (§4.1) support a positive association between voluntary youth service and adult volunteering, but find no significant association with adult voting after accounting for family background. The Data and methods (§3.1) describe a longitudinal study beginning with students in grades 7–12; 3,032 is the largest family-subsample size for a depression outcome, not the size of the full study or necessarily the civic-engagement analyses. The claim therefore overgeneralizes both the sample and the civic outcome. (LLM, conf=0.89)

The Data section reports a longitudinal study with 3,032 participants in its family sample for the Wave 3 depression analysis; the full sample was larger. Results §4.2.1 links voluntary youth service, but not involuntary service, to better psychological well-being. The claim omits that distinction, and if “only” means psychological well-being was the sole positive outcome, Results §4.2.2 also reports positive associations with schooling and earnings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
