It was determined that for a harmonious development of a future social worker and awareness of a first-year student of his/her professional realization it is necessary: to participate actively in volunteering activities (organizing and conducting fundraisers, special assistance, animators actions); personal assistance in finding and transferring funds to people who need them (search for sponsors, patrons, caring people); creation and implementation of scientific-practical projects in social work; fulfilment of such functions as a mentor, an assistant (for people, groups, societies, and associations) as required. The study used the following research methods: theoretical (analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the problems of defining the professional competence of a social worker and aspects of volunteering activities to find out the state of elaboration of the researched problem and definition of concepts and categories; generalization and prediction in the formulation of conclusions and rationale of volunteering activities as a way of professional self-determination of a future social worker); empirical (pedagogical supervision over the organization of volunteering activities and professional skills of future social workers). It is proved that a social worker, as any other person can perform the functions of the volunteer, but he/she does it professionally, which corresponds the education he/she gained.It is indicated that volunteer participation in the social life of the Institute, city, country, provides professional self-determination, personal fulfillment, and moral-spiritual development of the student’s individual and enables him/her to feel a competent, important, needed, fulfilled professional.
