摘要：Volunteers play an important role in empowering children, students, youth, seniors and people in need. This article aims to identify the practice of youth volunteerism as a community asset that can be used optimally to assist in the care of the elderly. The demand to become volunteers is very high among the youth but many do not know they have the potential as valuable volunteers to the community and the country. Every year the country is flooded with hundreds of thousands of school leavers, youths and university graduates who enter the job market. Youth volunteers do not require high qualifications but are sufficient to have interest, motivation, social skills and willing to make positive changes to society. This article discusses the issues of potential volunteers before entering the job market. The quality of volunteer service delivery can be achieved through a paradigm shift from non-profit to profit, that is, volunteerism is combined with social entrepreneurship. The spirit of volunteerism can be formed individually or in an organization. This social entrepreneurship can provide employment to the youth in helping to equip them by taking on challenges as a matter of pride and honour in the future.
