Abstract
Volunteering, where the individual involves in a conscious way to improve the conditions of communities and vulnerable groups, varies according the space where it develops. This research is a diagnosis of the volunteering of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Puebla, Mexico. It is necessary to recognize the model of operation and the components of articulation that consolidate it as a way of social participation. The research is carried out under the lens of Engineering in Social Communication, theory that allows observing and diagnosing certain social phenomena. Likewise, it is complemented with theories of civil society, volunteering and the scope that can have as using the New Communication Technologies (NCT). Through the ethnography and in-depth interviews with the volunteer coordinators in seven selected cases in Puebla, some models were identified so as the elements that deteriorate, strengthen or articulate it. Some findings are that volunteering is mostly done by young people, they reflect about their particular environment to contrast it with the world in general, and interact with other people who are affected by strong social problems. However, the coordinators also point out the lack of information for a participatory culture and the difficulties of building a social conscience.
