Volunteerism is universal and accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or social status.
Through volunteering, young people are provided with opportunities to gain skills and experience while
contributing to sustainable development efforts, thus increasing their chances at the global labour market.
Building a culture of volunteerism requires widespread changes in political and institutional structures, as
well as in attitudes, values and cultural practices within families and communities, so that adolescents are
recognized as partners and stakeholders.
Young people in Serbia are open for different possibilities, for political engagement, volunteerism, and civic
activism. Promoting opportunities for young people to volunteer in ways that are meaningful, accessible,
valued and supported will result in young people’s participation, skills, thus youth empowerment in Serbia
will be strengthened.
