Volunteering and its influence on employment chances

Abstract

This article reviews the general principles of volunteering activity, based on the fact that volunteer work is an increasingly large, yet poorly-understood area of the economy and social domains. Describing personal experiences and analyzing the benefits of volunteering in order to encourage the development of the given domain in our country, aims to express the value of volunteering experiences. Moreover, employers are supporting increasingly more employees that are involved in a volunteering activity. This is happening due to the big impact that volunteering has on an individual’s behaviour and personal development. The following article describes in detail the roles of volunteers, types of volunteering and the most popular organizations that offer such an opportunity in our area.
