After engaging in these activities, students show a stronger sense of personal and social responsibility and improved self-esteem, which has a strong impact on later social and labour market outcomes (Drago, 2008). However, one of the main challenges is to get youth from the most disadvantaged backgrounds to participate in these activities, perhaps through linkages with school and other social programmes. Mentoring programmes can also help fill the gaps for youth who may lack guidance and positive role models at home.
