4 Things That Happen When Teens Volunteer

  • Develop problem solving skills

    The development of problem solving skills is determinant in life. Although, it is common to encounter situations in which teenagers depend on their parents to make simple decisions.
    The good news is that problem solving skills can be learned. By being part of a group of volunteers that work together to address health and social issues; teenagers become more independent, discuss strategies to solve problems, determine priorities, make decisions, and feel the satisfaction of achieving goals. The "Change By Teens" group is a great platform for teenagers to develop the mentioned abilities.
