Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each quote to determine if it's a "Point" (supporting volunteering) or "Counterpoint" (opposing volunteering):

1. Quote: "Being a young person these days is already tough enough."

This implies volunteering might be an additional burden (opposing), so it's a Counterpoint.

1. Quote: "And volunteering isn’t a distraction from school. Teens who volunteer actually do better academically."

This supports volunteering (shows academic benefits), so it's a Point.

1. Quote: "This is where schools come in. They have the ability to get every student involved."

This supports facilitating volunteering (schools helping), so it's a Point.

1. Quote: "The very word ‘volunteer’ is based on the idea of doing something by your own will."

This explains the positive nature of volunteering (voluntary, good), so it's a Point.

Matching:

• "Being a young person these days is already tough enough." → Counterpoint
• "And volunteering isn’t a distraction from school. Teens who volunteer actually do better academically." → Point
• "This is where schools come in. They have the ability to get every student involved." → Point
