In a recent report, The National Youth Agency in England explores the skills, knowledge and attitudinal development that young derive from volunteering. The research did not intend to evaluate volunteering projects in terms of quality or volunteer management. Rather, the study focused on how young people benefited from volunteering, and what mattered most to them during the volunteer process. The researchers explored this issue in depth through 30 case studies and interviews with 215 young people. This  Research to Practice reviews the key themes of this report, suggest how organizations can use the findings to promote the message of volunteering to the young, and discuss how the results can benefit and enhance the volunteering experiences for volunteers of all ages.
