According to studies, structured voluntary activities (such as sports teams, clubs, and community service) can provide opportunities for skill-building, leadership development, and social connections. This can ultimately lead to positive outcomes such as increased self-esteem and academic achievement. Unchallenging leisure activities and unstructured time may not offer the same developmental benefits, while unstructured relaxation and social interaction may not provide opportunities for skill-building or leadership development.
