Despite the importance that characterizes the voluntary social work and
its role in societies’ development and empowerment of its individuals, still
there is a clear refrain from practicing it by the Palestinian society, in spite
of the abilities and capabilities that the Palestinian youth own and enjoy, and
the urgent need of the society for such efforts and capabilities.

were obtained, analyzed and interpreted using the statistical packages for
