Abstract

The aim of the research was to present the provision of socially useful services as the expression of co-management and commitment to sustainable development. The case study was adopted as a research approach. The subject of the research was a group of students who implemented the project as part of student internships in 2020–2021. The next research group consisted of 346 respondents and was constituted as a result of messages with a link to the questionnaire sent and shared on social networks. Empirical data for research on a selected social problem were obtained by means of a direct online interview based on a questionnaire. The results show that the effects of the activities undertaken by a socially engaged group have an impact on the quality of life of the society. Thanks to this diagnosis, it has also been demonstrated that the applied approach proved advantageous as a result of the adequacy of activities in relation to the key needs of the stakeholders. A statistically significant relationship was established between some features and behaviors of young Polish people and their approach to cancer prevention.
