Students are role models that are vital and precious to a country. They are the future leaders that will contribute to the success of their countries. To achieve that goal, students have to be more responsible, attentive and regularly be involved in community activities. Volunteering is also a main trait that is needed and should be integrated into the lives of millennial students that are the apprentices of the country’s leaders in the coming age. This group will determine whether a country will be advanced or recede. However, findings from prior researches have shown that the participation of students in volunteering activities have not been up to par, or in other words still moderate. This concept paper discusses the factors that is predicted to influence the participation of students in volunteering activities both at a school and community level. Theories and findings from the past have guided this research paper to suggest that religiosity and social environment are factors that encourage the participation of students in volunteering activities.
