This is a free will and initiative unpaid work for permanent or short-term, which provides everyone regardless of gender, race, nationality, religion, political belief, age or health an opportunity to use their skills and experience, gain new skills, make friends, get involved in work and to change the social life of the country. Volunteers carry out those tasks, which are needed at that moment for the society. Voluntary service gives young people the opportunity to interact, grow, or to share their experiences.
Voluntary service activities can be carried out at local, national, European and global level. It plays an important role in European level in the development of European identity and in bringing young people from different countries together.
