<em><em></em></em><p align="left"> </p><p><strong>The understanding and the estimating the social activity of youth – conclusions for social work  </strong></p><p>There was relatively little written about the social activity of youth. It is the conception – phenomenon, which may be associated, inter alia, with the society development, where every citizen has to feel as the participant and subject, not the object of political and social actings. Although such trend is being noticed and emphasized in our country, as well as the importance of national values, integrating the society (it is more and more often to pay attention to development of patriotic and civil attitudes, as well as the necessity of stimulating the sense of real influence on public affairs and the motivation for the workings on behalf of local communities), however the majority of Polish publications concerning strictly the social activity was actually issued before the ‘90s, in the socialism’s regime, when the social activity of every citizen’s was highly desirable and, may be said, politically correct. The main object of present article is to identify and analyse the phenomenon of social activity of youth, in formulation of different scientific disciplines, as well as the organizations and social groups, in the period of last few decades (before, under and after the transformation of politic system in Poland). The accent is also being put to inspire the social workers, especially the local community workers, to increase their engagement in stimulating the social activity of the youth.</p>
