Youth play important role in shaping the future of politics, economy and society in Malaysia.Volunteers devoted to their life to help others regardless their time and effort. However, in 2010, the numbers of volunteers dropped significantly. It is important to study what predictors that contribute intention to volunteers among youth. Volunteering is the course of action that individual’s willing to perform without anticipating any payment to help other people, community and organization.
