Gen Zers are using their #VolunteerVoices to share fresh ideas and inspire meaningful change through volunteering in the new year. 💫
Gen Zers are rewriting what it means to create meaningful change, making volunteering and community engagement a core part of their lifestyle. With the new year right around the corner, many young people are setting resolutions that include giving back and helping to build a better world. I asked some of our Gen Z #DailyPointofLight honorees and Points of Light staff for their advice to fellow young leaders looking to step into the world of volunteering in 2025. Their perspectives are a testament to the creativity, community spirit, and determination this generation brings to service. Gen Z’s passion for service is extraordinary, and their drive to create meaningful change is shaping the future of volunteering. As leaders, our role is to listen, amplify their voices, and provide the tools and opportunities they need to fuel what’s next. Here’s how we can support them: ✨ Meet them where they are: Use social platforms to amplify your call to action. ✨ Offer real impact opportunities: Gen Z craves work that aligns with their values and creates tangible change. ✨ Celebrate their contributions: Acknowledge their efforts and showcase their stories. How are you planning to engage Gen Z in the coming year?
