Abstract

In an era where philanthropy development is gaining increasing attention, enhancing teenagers 'charitable awareness holds significant importance for building a harmonious society and nurturing new generations of the times. However, Chinese adolescents still exhibit notable deficiencies in understanding charity, emotional identification, and behavioral participation, urgently requiring feasible intervention strategies. This study adopts a social work professional perspective to address practical issues in "group work intervention for improving youth's charitable consciousness." By integrating Strength-Based Perspective Theory and Social Learning Theory, we construct a systematic intervention framework aimed at effectively stimulating teenagers 'charitable awareness through professional group work methods, thereby strengthening their sense of social responsibility and dedication. Utilizing a mixed research methodology combining questionnaire surveys and participant observation, this study conducts empirical investigations on the current status of youth charitable awareness at a middle school in Jinan City, systematically analyzing specific manifestations and challenges across three dimensions: cognition, emotion, and behavioral intentions. Building on this foundation, diverse activities such as role-playing, case analysis, and public welfare practices are employed to deepen teenagers' understanding and identification with charitable causes through interactive experiences. Innovatively applying group work methods systematically in youth charity education expands the scope of social work practice research, providing new theoretical perspectives and practical pathways for cultivating charitable awareness among adolescents. This study holds significant theoretical value and practical implications for promoting comprehensive adolescent development and sustainable progress in philanthropy.
