A few days before the beginning of my journey as a first-year college student, I participated in a service-based program about criminal justice in Williamsburg, Virginia, home to my college, William & Mary. Nervous about meeting some of my peers for the first time, I was surprised when I walked into a room predominantly filled with other young women, bearing community-focused mindsets similar to my own. Only a few young men elected to participate in the program.
Upon some further research, I discovered studies that suggested this trend was not unique to my school—this is a trend found among college students, and even older adults across the country. Afound that in September 2015, 21.8 percent of the U.S. male-identifying population spent time volunteering, while 27.8 percent of those who identified as women—6 percent higher, did the same. Along those same lines, in 2017, 68.
I continued to search. Some theories I uncovered argued that the U.S. has experienced a distinct feminization of poverty, making women more dependent on welfare and other services such as food stamps. Women are also more likely to be the primary caregivers in their homes, meaning that they spend more time with diverse members of their communities, including teachers and healthcare providers .

Sorry, now I don’t see anyone, but I hear a dog barking. Is that right? Do I need to click something else? Actually, I’m just gonna try restarting my computer and hopefully that will fix it.
