Volunteering takes many shapes and is carried out by a wide range of people. There are three major benefits of becoming a youth volunteer in South America

• Economic benefits: activities undertaken by volunteers that would otherwise have to be funded by the state or by private capital, so volunteering adds to the overall economic output of a country and reduces the burden on government spending.
• Social Benefits: volunteering helps to build more cohesive communities, fostering greater trust between citizens and developing norms of solidarity and reciprocity that are essential to stable communities.
• Individual Career Benefits: graduates can meet people and gain work experience through volunteering, and, it helps school students for scholarships knowing that the judges are impressed when a resume lists volunteer work.
