According to a new study, youth who learn about good character are more likely to model that character. The Scholastic Media study, “It Starts with Character: Inspiring Kids and Teens to Volunteer,” found that children ages 6 to 17 who were taught character-building skills (such as sharing and being kind to others) were more likely to volunteer if given the opportunity, and volunteer more frequently. “This survey reinforces the importance of ensuring that kids are able to discover their power to make a difference in their communities at an early age,” says Michelle Nunn, CEO of Points of Light.
