People the world over engage in volunteerism for a variety of reasons: to eliminate poverty and to improve basic health and education, to tackle environmental issues, to reduce the risk of disasters or to combat social exclusion and violent conflicts. In all of these fields, volunteerism makes a specific contribution by generating well-being for people and their communities.
Volunteers are motivated by values like those of equality, justice and freedom as expressed in the United Nations Charter. A society which supports and encourages different forms of volunteerism is likely to be a society which promotes the well-being of its citizens.
More than one billion people volunteer globally, the majority of them sewing in their own countries. Many are in the forefront of efforts to improve the way they and their fellow citizen are governed and engaged. Moreover, volunteers are playing a vital role in making governments worldwide more accountable and responsive to their citizens. They are working with governments and civil society to hold those in power to account and to represent the voices of those who are often left out of development decisions such as women, youth and marginalised groups. The end result is more inclusive- and ultimately more effective development.
Volunteerism is a basic expression of human relationships. It is about people’s need to participate in their societies and to feel that they matter to others. The ethos of volunteerism is infused with values such as solidarity, reciprocity, mutual trust, belonging and empowerment, all of which contribute significantly to quality of life.
A healthy society is one in which importance is given to formal and informal relationships that facilitate interaction and engagement and engender a sense of belonging. It is also one in which there is broad participation by all sections of the population. Communities with these characteristics do better in moving forward to meet common aspirations.
Volunteers are more likely to develop civic skills to attach more importance to serving the public interest as a personal life goal and to be more politically active. Thus, going about their volunteer-outlook that contributes to a social environment that nurtures the well-being of all.
