	<span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">This paper looks at the consequence of compulsory

outcome of voluntary vo</span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">lunteerism on youth enculturation, civic engagement,
and the development of <span>a volunteer¡¯s
culture. This paper utilizes a comprehensive literature review,</span> empirical evidence analysis, and a comparative study to explore the complex <span>outcomes of obligatory volunteer activities on the
youth¡¯s personal growth,</span> <span>social
contribution, and future volunteering intentions. The findings noted</span> <span>that mandatory involvement can be a practical
entry point to volunteering</span> practice, immediate social awareness, and
personal skills. However, it brings a <span>compromised
impact compared to voluntary involvement and the lasting</span> commitment to
volunteerism. The research highlights the critical role of built-in <span>motivators in driving volunteer activities and
reveals the need to carefully</span> consider the compulsory volunteerism
development models. Policy and program design imperatives for education
advocates entail proper orientation of <span>volunteer
opportunities with students¡¯ interests and inclusion of reflection </span>activities
that cement the authenticity of the volunteer effort. The target is to <span>ensure a win-win approach between the student
volunteerism benefits and</span> the in-built passion among the students,
encouraging long-term social responsibility and volunteering.</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"></span>
