Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the different ways of social participation of young college students to help victims of Mexico´s City earthquake occurred on September 19, 2017. The study also sought to understand why those students got involved. An online questionnaire was administered to 42 college students of a public university located in Mexico City.  From data analysis emerged three main categories: 1. Family organization, 2. Brigades formed through social networking, 3. Empathy and social solidarity. Results show that social networks played an important role after the disaster provoked by earthquake. Social networking allowed colleges to identify locations that needs help, through young people, located these places to support who will demand it. The same went to support with the members of the family group, or with the brigade formed by teachers and students, other times with unknown persons. Empathy gave chance to college students to put themselves in their shoes of earthquake victims. Solidarity was shown when college student supported those earthquake victims in a big need of help.
