Trends in volunteering in non-governmental organizations

Abstract

Volunteerism is related to the search for people who do not provide for a monetary benefit for themselves. It is not enough to know the voluntary work - it needs to be continuously involved, to feel the same responsibility as going into a permanent position. Who want to become involved or are already working in the voluntary work of individuals to access and understand the current situation in this area, to form a view on this. Volunteerism in Lithuania is defined as nonprofessional activities in the public interest and includes the traditional mutual aid. The majority of people working without any payment feel against the others uncomfortable for a number of provisions that just as a volunteer or as getting “profit” from volunteering. This is probably because the definition of volunteering include a feature that defines the volunteers are reimbursed for all costs associated with its ongoing activities. However, there is an old tradition to keep volunteering as a form of the charity based on altruism and selflessness. Relations and activities carried out by voluntary organizations are defined responsibilities and participation in community life. In this case, stability is a key factor - if you create permanent friendly relations, the result of frequent meetings, the need increases the likelihood that the volunteers started to interact more difficult to stand out, it will improve the overall work, and the team is likely to leave the organization a long time. Volunteering gives people the power. They acquire experience, feel satisfaction in their work, depending on age, gender and other characteristics that distinguish people from one another. Volunteerism strengthens the relationship between individuality, which is a strong social basis of society. Voluntary work helps create a sense of citizenship. Volunteering can never run out of forces in the mobilization of human resources.[...]Ekonomikos ir vadybos fakultetasVytauto Didžiojo universiteta
