Wirkungsnachweis aus der Literatur
reaffirmation or development of a sense of marginalization
soziale Inklusion
The volunteers all developed strong connections to organizations that existed on the periphery rather than in the mainstream. As they did, each took on the organization’s battles and either reaffirmed or developed a sense of being marginalized. In sum, volunteer work helped to plug the youth into the periphery.
