This webinar interrogates the role of volunteers in society empowerment to enable students with a broad view of volunteerism as a first action. This program aims to encourage volunteer activities in research, education, and social at the undergraduate and graduate students' level. At first sight, great needs for workforce exists in educational research and studies, while only a small percentage of students are volunteering their services. Consequently, many students miss the opportunity to give back to the community and excel in their academic and career assets in the long run. In the analysis, it exposed that students are the first beneficially in unique ways if they volunteer in research and education. It is also observed that research immensely impacts learning, and knowledge positively influences society. Therefore, by implication, volunteer activities in research and education, it will benefit young volunteers and communities. Besides, volunteer opportunities are readily available to students. Also, conducting volunteer activities have been impactful on the overall performance rating. A volunteer should train and learn best practices and behavior. It will promote educational research, student success, and improve livelihood in the community. In conclusion, this study reveals that volunteering in the field of education and research is critically important for students to participate in volunteer activities.
