An Analysis of Undergraduates' Volunteerism in Community Summer Childcare——Based on an Empirical Survey of 471 College Students

Undergraduates' participation as volunteers in summer childcare can not only pass on the spirit of volunteering and maximize the impact of practical education in colleges, but it can also compensate for the shortage of teachers in after-school programs, enrich both details and the structure of summer childcare. Through investigating the current situation of college student volunteers' participation in community summer childcare by questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, the findings demonstrate a number of issues, including an excessively low percentage of undergraduate participation, a short program cyclicality, generally rewards and a deficiency in skills. Based on above results, we conduct a deep discussion and present recommendations from the government, colleges, communities and society by using the notion of synergy.
