Aside from the Groundup Initiative Study conducted in 2023, no other researchers have attempted to look into the experience of groundup volunteers. Instead, there has been a plethora of studies done on students’ volunteering experience and volunteer retention. This paper strives to address this gap in literature by conducting a qualitative inquiry into students’ volunteering experience with groundups. The study adopts a Model of Young People’s Sustained Volunteerism and interviewed three students on their volunteering journey. From their interviews, a new ecological model is proposed in explaining how volunteer motivation, group integration, identity, satisfaction, and the relationships with groundup members interact with one another to retain student volunteers.
