Volunteer activity is primarily based on voluntary assistance and community service. Volunteers help non-profit organizations in implementing socially important projects without receiving money for this.
Volunteering
Ideological people often become volunteers. Those who are willing to help others for free to make the world a little better and kinder. Volunteers are an invaluable resource in helping social services and non-profit organizations. Vivid examples of such organizations are the UN, the Red Cross Society, the American Peace Corps, and Greenpeace.
Help people
There are many social groups that need support: pensioners, poor families, orphans, people with disabilities, sick people and undergoing rehabilitation, etc. Each of these groups requires different assistance.
To help those in need financially, volunteers organize the collection of clothes, children's toys, various kitchen utensils and everything that other volunteers are ready to donate. Then all the collected things are distributed among the families of people in need. Let me remind you that volunteers do not receive material compensation for their work. They gain experience and moral satisfaction.
There is another kind of help. For example, orphans, people with disabilities and other categories that the state contains in specialized institutions. Volunteers organize recreational and educational events. They stage performances in orphanages, organize amateur concerts in boarding schools and hospitals, conduct developmental classes with children and even organize computer courses for senior citizens. Volunteers give their time and attention to people who need support.
Environmental protection
Volunteering is not limited to helping people. Charitable foundations are ready to protect nature, homeless animals and order. Volunteers play a key role in such projects. How many stray cats and dogs roam the streets? If you collect at least some of them in the nursery, you will need a lot of strength for keeping and caring for animals. Volunteers help to cope with this task.
There are many activities to protect and protect the environment. For example, local ones are community work days, cleaning parks, abandoned squares, city streets, nature reserves, restoring playgrounds and landscaping public places. Such projects are not easy work. Volunteers are attracted both to the organization of events and to their implementation.
Many organizations protect wild forests and their inhabitants. For example, Australia has a highly developed veterinary care service. In Thailand, philanthropic foundations are throwing power to help wild elephants and other jungle dwellers who suffer from industrialization or are an endangered species. Without volunteers, no such project would have been possible.
