CW Stars Helping in the Coast - Zap2it

I have heard many references to the younger generation and their willingness to volunteer.  America’s teens possess unbridled passion and energy.  In addition they can utilize technology in a far more effective way than their parents’ generation.

So I did a little digging, and here is what I found.  According to a 2005  survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Corporation for National and Community Service, 55% of young people ages 12-18 volunteer their time for a cause.  That is almost double the adult volunteer rate of only 29%.
