ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the patterns of preliminary youth leaders in their youth-related service activities. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 college students, and their types of service activities were explored through their lively voices and experiences. Prospective youth leaders showed the following types of youth volunteering activities. First, self-leadership. Prospective youth leaders planned, conducted, operated, and evaluated the program through volunteer activities, and through this achievement experience, they organize clubs with other college students, participate actively in other activities, set goals and motivate them. Second, it was an opportunity to build relationships. Prospective youth leaders started volunteering with the recommendation of professors and institutional managers, and continued volunteering by maintaining relationships with senior juniors and colleagues. Third, it was an opportunity to explore and decide on career. For prospective youth leaders, volunteering was not just a service but an opportunity to explore careers and find their aptitudes as youth leaders. Most of the participants were able to learn what youth affairs were doing through volunteering opportunities and find their aptitudes. Fourth, the college students participating in the study “penetration” what the youth director's work was and experience the “limitation” of the work through volunteer work. Prospective youth leaders have come to understand the limitations of seeing the reality of youth leaders who have not learned in college and recognizing the limitations of their work. Fifth, despite the limitations of the current system, research participants were able to gain hands-on experience through volunteer activities. This experience gave them the opportunity to know the importance of field practice and to understand the culture and psychology of youth. Based on these findings, this study provides implications for the training process of universities or institutions that train youth leaders and suggests the need for follow-up studies.
