Resumo

El apoyo social comunitario se concibe como la ayuda entre las personas que comparten hogares, escuelas, vecindarios, lugares de trabajo, organizaciones y otros entornos comunitarios. El presente estudio se centra en la percepción que una muestra de jóvenes melillenses presenta sobre el apoyo social de su comunidad en función de si se participa o no en actividades de voluntariado. Para ello, se desarrolló un estudio de tipo correlacional. Los principales resultados ponen de manifiesto una relación positiva entre la participación en actividades de voluntariado y el apoyo comunitario percibido relativo a los siguientes elementos: la percepción que poseen los jóvenes sobre la valoración positiva de sus opiniones en su comunidad, el sentimiento de pertenencia a la comunidad, el hecho de colaborar en organizaciones y asociaciones de la comunidad, realizar actividades en su comunidad, formar parte de grupos sociales o cívicos, responder a las llamadas de apoyo en su comunidad, así como ser capaz de animar a los demás y lograr un mejor estado de ánimo. Por su parte, la relación es negativa con la no realización de actividades socio-recreativas en la comunidad. Se discute la necesidad de fomentar actividades de voluntariado entre los jóvenes, lo cual repercutirá en su bienestar e integración comunitaria.
