Is the Citizen Empowerment of Young Tunisian Volunteers on the March? An Exploratory Study
This work seeks to capture the renewed expectations of young volunteers in terms of citizen participation in a context of democratic transition. Its aim is to understand how the voluntary commitment of young people can be a potential lever for citizen empowerment. The results of the study conducted in the non-profit sector in Tunisia revealed that volunteering commitment is driven by a set of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. An examination of the young Tunisian volunteers’ expectations revealed that they are in quest of an enabling and inclusive citizenship where they would be the effective architects of social and political change.
