Community Service Learning: Volunteering Tendencies of Freshmen and Sophomores in a Higher Educational Institution
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Preparing students in higher educational institutions for engaged citizenship remains underexamined. Through community service learning, the tendencies of freshmen and sophomores in services and volunteering must be examined. This survey examined students’ rendered services, affiliations before service learning, and volunteering behavior predictors and their associations. Using Google Form, 250 participated. Seminars or orientation programs, tree growing or planting, and cleanup drives are common services rendered. Most are not affiliated with or involved in organizations or volunteering activities. The predictors significantly influence their tendency for future community service. Community services rendered and affiliations or experience prior to rendering community service are both associated with freshmen and sophomores’ volunteering behavior. An institutional volunteering program must be developed, and a broader scope must be considered for future study. How to properly cite this study in APA format: Mori, G. (2025).
