Abstract
The research investigates the influence of personal, socio-economic, and behavioral factors on youth involvement in social responsibility within the Rotaract Clubs of Zone 2 Rotary International District 3870 in Iligan City, Philippines. Recognizing the vital role youths play in societal progress, especially through organizations like Rotaract that empower young people by developing leadership and community service skills, the study employs a descriptive-correlational design. Data were collected via a structured, pilot-tested questionnaire administered to 24 active Rotaract members. Findings reveal demographic profiles, participation frequency, motivation, and challenges faced by members, highlighting significant effects of socio-economic constraints and behavioral factors such as leadership confidence and peer influence on social responsibility engagement. The study underscores Rotaract's role in fostering youth civic responsibility and suggests strategies to enhance youth participation despite socio-economic barriers. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how multifaceted factors shape youth commitment to social service in Philippine community organizations.
