Project Overview
The Building Character Through Youth Social Action report presents findings from research carried out with youth social action providers and young people between March and December 2014. This research was conducted in collaboration with Step Up To Serve, a small charity that coordinates the #iwill campaign to make participation in meaningful social action the norm for young people by 2020. The research explored how youth social action providers aim to build young people’s character and demonstrates the significant, positive impact that providers believe social action has on a young person’s character, and in turn the impact of that character development on young people and society.
