The authors of the article consider modern educational institutions as an educational space where, through purposeful pedagogical influence on a person, it is possible to create specific pedagogical conditions that allow a person to understand, realize and accept social responsibility as a personally significant value and learn to implement it in various social situations. The interrelation of the age characteristics of the personality of adolescents and the external requirements imposed on it by society, group or collective is revealed. They begin already in elementary school and continue in high school, when students become old enough to learn various aspects of social responsibility. The main forms of building this process are classically divided into: educational process, extracurricular work, family education, educational activities of youth organizations, educational activities of cultural institutions, art. Of particular importance for the development of social responsibility is the realization of the possibilities of self-education, which presupposes internal motives, self-esteem of the individual. As a result of a purposeful process of education, self-education can also be actively involved. It is necessary to encourage and actively support the desire of children for self-education, starting with the appearance of its first signs, to gain public recognition and be equal to society in the person of the state and business, to its adult members. The younger generation should believe in their state, see responsibility on its part, care and real help in all aspects of social life. To see not from case to case within the framework of certain projects, but the constant responsibility of the state and business, in the realization of public interests and the maintenance of environmental stability. In fact, the existing society should be an educational space in which the younger generation can and should draw inspiration for a future socially responsible life.
