increased interest in community-based volunteering
gesellschaftliche Partizipation
Many participants reported Crew participation as influential in creating an interest in community-based volunteering after leaving secondary school, such as becoming ambassadors for youth issues, or volunteering with state fire service, animal welfare organisations, local Council programs related to mental health, and community markets. Participants also reported being involved in mental health volunteering initiatives coordinated by Live4Life in their communities, including Crew4Life, the flagship program for Crew alumni to continue acting as mental health advocates.
