French civic service program revolutionizes youth engagement in non-profits.
The French civic service program allows young people to work in non-profit organizations for 6 to 12 months. The program is popular and funded by the government. The study looked at how this program affects the career plans and attitudes of young volunteers, as well as its impact on the non-profit sector. The researchers used questionnaires and interviews to gather information. They found that the program influences young people's career goals and changes their views on volunteering. Additionally, the presence of these volunteers has an impact on the non-profit sector.
