A Profile of Student Attitudes

Community participation:

Most students do not limit their activities to those offered at their high school; many are active in their communities as well. The majority (58 percent) of high school students surveyed spend time during an average week participating in community related activities.

Community activities -- average hours per week

These students who participate in their communities do so in several ways. Thirty-five percent volunteer for community service organizations, 32 percent volunteer for service at religious organizations, and 28 percent participate in community social clubs or organizations
