The article reveals the essence of volunteering as a factor of development of social activity of the individual. It identifies the key characteristics of volunteer work and especially its organization. The basic types of volunteer activities: • remuneration. Volunteers must not engage in volunteer activities mainly for financial profit, and any financial reimbursement should be less than the value of the work performed. • goodwill. Although the motivation to participate in volunteer activities may always consist of several reasons including pressure from colleagues (or parents) and debt to society, yet these activities should be carried out voluntarily, without coercion. • brought favor. Must be a beneficiary – charity care (individual, non-profit organization or community) receiving assistance from one or several donors. • the organizational structure. Volunteering can be organized or unorganized, carried out individually or in groups, public or private organizations. There are several types of volunteering: • mutual aid or self-help. People engage in voluntary activities to help other members of the same social group or community. • charity or service for the benefit of others. The primary beneficiary is not a member of the group member is a volunteer, and the third party. • participation and government. The role of individuals in the administration – from representation in government advisory bodies to participation in local development projects. • education or promotion of any questions concerning certain groups. It is concluded that today volunteers are the people who are not limited to paid work and normal life duties, and spend time and effort on things that do not bring them material gain. They do it because their work is useful to others and brings satisfaction to themselves.

The aim of the study is to analyze motivation for undertaking activities to help others by people involved in various forms of volunteer work. We analyzed two sources of motivation: moral endo‒exocentrism and the value system among three groups: hospice, missionary and sports volunteers. The study involved 173 people between 16 to 77 years of age, 59 giving service in a hospice, 63 in missionary activities and 51 as sports volunteers. We applied the Moral Endo-Exocentrism Questionnaire (MEEQ) by Karyłowski, Górski and Wasiak and the Portraits Questionnaire (PVQ) by Schwartz. The study showed higher levels of exocentric than endocentric motivation among the three groups of volunteers. However, the intergroup value preference comparison revealed 7 values which significantly differentiated hospice, missionary and sports volunteers: Tradition, Hedonism, Success, Power, Self-Directing, Stimulation and Universalism.

Voluntary activity is a form of civic activity, which is an essential part of modern, wellfunctioning democracy, both at the local and national levels. Popular ideas identify volunteering with work in community centers, rehabilitation centers for the disabled, hospices, nursing homes for the elderly, orphanages, and homes for single mothers. Meanwhile, as it was confirmed by the study of the Klon/Jawor and CBOS, voluntary activity is not just purely social and supportive one. Volunteers, as is the case in other countries, support with their work organizations of political nature – movements, committees, and political groups. The use of their support intensifies especially during election campaigns, when volunteers perform different tasks: gather signatures on lists of candidates in the election, organize rallies and campaign trails, lead wide campaigning – handing out leaflets and urging to vote for particular candidates or political parties, prepare handouts, and update web pages, blogs and profiles in social networks. This voluntary, and – what needs to be especially emphasized – also conscious involvement in political activity, is a manifestation of a particular group of civic participation in its political dimension.

Social participation of citizens in the form of volunteering is an important part of the normative idea of civil society. With the development of volunteering and its systematic support from the government, as well from European institutions, we can observe an increasing number of trainings for volunteers. The purpose of most of these trainings, in addition to the promotion of volunteering, is to reduce the cost of participation by increasing the resources of the course participants needed to implement projects. However, from a theoretical point of view, we can assume that there is social selectivity in such trainings which results from inequalities in the social system. In particular, in the educational systems and unequal access to the structures of mobilization. Based on the data gathered during the evaluation (pre- and post-test) of training for young volunteers in Switzerland (treib.stoff Academy), we tested the hypotheses about unequal access to trainings, egoistic motivation to participate, and social selectivity of gains in skills and knowledge. The results showed i.e. that informal recruitment has a positive impact on access of trainees with a migrant background. In addition, we discussed the practical implications of the issues outlined in the normative idea of volunteering.

The aim of the study was to compare two groups of volunteers who work with people with disabilities: volunteers working in organizations led by social innovators and volunteers who are not affiliated to such organizations. The results show a different picture of both groups in the area of the declared value, objectives and attitudes towards people with disabilities. Volunteers working with social innovators have lower rates of misanthropy, higher individual indicators of social capital, and a higher rate of partnership and innovative attitude. The paper presents guidelines how to work with people with disabilities to maximize their integration into society and create social change.

Young people are a generation that engages in active public life, so we have explored ways in which young people under 30 are involved in private and public life. Research study from 2020 involved 284 people who became volunteers during high school and university and continue to volunteer and carry out regular activities for different target groups. The sample consisted of 57% of women and 43% of men at age of 18–30. From the analysis of the results, we found out what the current profile of volunteers is, which motives encourage young people under 30 to volunteer work. We also analysed the character profile of volunteers and their active citizenship. The Slovak Republic’s Youth Strategy for 2014–2020 sets out the strategic objectives of youth policy, one of which is volunteering. At present, volunteering is strongly influenced by demographic trends related to population aging and modernization or digitalization.

The leading purpose of the spiritual guidance is to deliver a necessary assistance in achieving the sainthood which means the perfection of love. The role of a spiritual director (guide) can be summarized as helping Holy Spirit to form Christ within each member of “Caritas” groups. A spiritual threat, which all volunteers of “Caritas” are exposed to, is an excessive activism which often makes volunteers forget to pray and proceed their spiritual lives. A spiritual director is supposed to control the activeness of a volunteer and make sure that an appropriate balance is maintained. To do volunteering is a chance for the youth to live their lives in a truly Christian way, full of love and care for others. The vocation and mission of volunteers, imbued with the spirit of the Gospel of love, play a special role in building the civilization of love in the modern world.

The aim of the paper is to show, how students perceive volunteering, what are their motivations and which activities they undertake most often. In addition, the study aims to investigate whether the notion of ‘corporate volunteering’ is known and understood. The target group consists of students of the WSB University, studying Finances and Accounting and Tourism and Leisure. The applied measurement technique was a distributed survey. The results show that students are aware of benefits arising from volunteering, but their own involvement is limited. Less than 4 per cent of respondents took voluntary jobs while studying. Students do not really know the term ‘corporate volunteering’, even if the majority has some experience in working full-time. The results indicate the necessity of action in this respect, including educational one, since students’ attitudes, i.e. future or even current employees, will translate into building of CSR and, in the long term, shaping of the civil society.

The aim of this paper was to check whether there exists a relationship between volunteering involvement and the level of communion, agency and degree of support for ethical codes. The questions concerned whether persons involved in volunteering (compared to those not involved) are characterized, on the one hand, by a higher intensity of agency and communion, on the other, a higher level of declared support for ethical codes (ethics of autonomy, universal good, dignity and collectivism). In order to find the answer, a study was carried out in which participated 37 people involved in hospice volunteering (including 19 women) and 34 non-volunteers (including 18 women).The results of the study show the existence of an assumed relationship in the case of agency and communion. As for ethical codes, the results did not provide evidence of the relationship between the level of their support and volunteering. The results of the presented study lead to the conclusion that selfless action for the benefit of the other people is associated with a high level of agency and communion, and not only with a high ethical level. Hence the postulate for pedagogical practice to shape and develop a sense of agency and communion in children and youth.
