The history of volunteering in Ukraine has more than one hundred
years. The first national volunteers were representatives of the Red
Cross, who organized voluntary group of Sister of Charity to work in
hospitals for the poor people.
In its primary essence the concept of "volunteering" come to us
along with the words "civil society," "democracy," "social
organizations".
Volunteering - is the foundation of civil society. Its hard to
imagine NGOs and charity in general without the participation of
volunteers. Public control over the authorities and business is also
impossible without volunteers who make significant contribution in
building the society. Volunteering is the way of solving the social
problems and its your chance to make the modern world a bit
better than it is.
Legal basis for volunteering
" The Constitution of Ukraine.
" Law of Ukraine "On Social Services": "Volunteer - a natural
person who willfully makes a charitable, non-profit and
motivated activity that has socially useful nature".
" Law of Ukraine "On volunteering": "Volunteering is selfless,
socially-oriented, non-profit activities carried out by volunteers
and voluntary organizations by way of providing volunteer
assistance".
