The Gallup Podcast: The Power of Youth Service: How Service Shapes Career Readiness, Connection and Resilience
Posted by The Gallup Podcast on September 29, 2026
New research from Gallup and The Allstate Foundation finds that service doesn’t just help communities – it changes the young people who provide it.
Stephanie Marken, a senior partner at Gallup, talks with Greg Weatherford II, Director of The Allstate Foundation and Social Impact, about the latest findings.
Drawing on a survey of more than 3,000 young people aged 12 to 25, the research explores how service builds career readiness, community connection and resilience — and why the effects are strongest when young people lead the work themselves.
