    Student engagement in volunteering: A comparative analysis of university students who volunteer versus non-volunteers. Self-Esteem, Sense of Belonging, and Professional Development.

     

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in outcomes reported by undergraduate students who volunteer compared to those who do not. The study addressed three research questions: (R1) Does volunteering correlate with higher levels of self-esteem among students? (R2) Does volunteering increase students' sense of belonging compared to non-volunteers? (R3) Does volunteering contribute to students' understanding and mastery of professional skills more than non-volunteers? The study employed a quantitative approach and analyzed data using nominal techniques. The findings indicated that volunteering did not significantly affect students' self-esteem. However, students who volunteered reported that the experience had helped them to develop professionally and achieve their future goals.
