The volunteer work becomes an important element of the public domain which needs qualitative changes and creation of a new social consciousness. Characteristic features of the volunteer work are mainly connected with the fact that it focuses on a human being in need. They can also be connected with social work as a supporting activity for people in various difficult situations. Although the history of social work shows many examples of relations between volunteer work and professional social work – contemporary volunteer work cannot be identified with social work. However, the activities of many students of social studies in associations and non-governmental organizations are very important for their personal and professional development, creating their competences and gaining experiences for the future professional work. Reflections concerning the volunteer work and its role in the field of social work education are important and may be treated as an element of discussion concerning education in connection with democracy and social/public activity in general. The article includes theoretical analysis of the selected aspects of volunteer work and professional social work, discovering the possible similarities and differences between those forms of social activity and emphasizing the role of volunteer work in shaping the professional competences within the field of social work.

The presented outcomes of the review indi­cate that social involve­ment may be an important predictor of health and more broadly of wellbeing. The article also presents the effective activation mechanisms of people in older ages and points out possible health inequalities that social involvement or lack of involvement may lead to.

Wskazują też na mechanizmy efektywnej aktywizacji osób w starszych grupach wieku, a także zwracają uwagę na sposób, w jaki zaangażowanie społeczne może przyczyniać się do powstawania nierówności w zakresie zdrowia.
