The purpose of the study is to examine the viability of youth differentiated by areas of socially significant activity: "volunteering and charity," "media and communications," "patriotism and historical memory," "science and technology," "culture and art," "ecology and nature conservation," and "sports." Research methods and organization. A study of participants of the All-Russian Public-State Movement of Children and Youth "Movement of the First" was conducted. The respondents represented 16 educational organizations located in four municipalities of the Chelyabinsk region. The age of the participants ranged from 14 to 17 years. Research results and conclusions. A statistically significant difference in the level of youth viability depending on the areas of socially significant activity was established. The highest level of viability was found among respondents in the "volunteering and charity" area, while the lowest was found among participants in the "ecology and nature conservation" area. Statistically significant differences in the components of viability depending on the type of activity were established: participants in the "volunteering and charity" area demonstrated higher indicators of adaptability, self-development, and meaningfulness of life, while representatives of the "sports," "culture and art" areas demonstrated higher self-regulation abilities. The obtained results represent a theoretical and methodological framework that can be used in further research and in practical work with youth.
