However, there are more teenagers volunteering than having part-time jobs in America. They are even setting an example for their parents through their volunteer work.According to a recent national survey (调查), 56% of teenagers volunteer to support charities (慈善) and community services, while only 39% take part-time jobs to make money. Parents also say that 82% of teenagers do something to help others in their lives, such as donating (捐赠) money.Sara Johnson, a teacher of a private high school in Chicago, realizes that teenagers are more likely to participate in social activities. She said, "I think that kids are realizing how important it is." She saw a similar increase of teenagers' participation in social activities after Hurricane Katrina, and she believes that this generation of teenagers is more active in taking part in charities than her generation was.
