This paper explores the significance of youth volunteerism in Thailand and its role in promoting social change. Through case studies of youth-led initiatives, such as environmental conservation projects, education programs, and digital activism, the paper highlights the impact of volunteerism on community development and personal growth. The benefits of youth volunteerism include the enhancement of leadership skills, civic engagement, and sustainable development efforts. The paper also discusses the challenges faced by youth volunteers, such as limited resources and balancing academic responsibilities, and proposes strategies for expanding youth volunteerism through educational support, digital platforms, and leadership training.
