Abstract

Volunteering becomes one of the most effective approaches to engaging the youth and supporting their concentration on community activities while fostering their development as grassroots leaders. This study aimed to determine how the youth can be motivated to join volunteering activities by identifying the factors that contribute to the youth’s participation in volunteering activities in Sungai Petani, Kedah. This study included 150 youths ranging in age from 15 to 39 years old as respondents. The quantitative method was applied by distributing questionnaires. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were implemented while conducting this research. Multiple regression and correlation coefficients were both employed to respond to the study questions. The correlation coefficient determines the strength and direction of the association between attitudes, career enhancement, and religious beliefs towards youth volunteering. Meanwhile, multiple regression was applied to identify the most significant factors influencing youths’ involvement in volunteer activities. Based on the research findings, there is a strong correlation between youth volunteering and career enhancement, attitude, and religious belief. According to the findings, attitudes are the most influential factor in youth volunteering activities. To summarize, as the nation’s future generation, youth are the most essential human resource for non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and numerous of these organizations rely on volunteers to play a crucial role in developing a better society. The findings can assist relevant parties, such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in reviewing the information and findings of the study when establishing strategies to involve more potential young volunteers
