VOLUNTARY SERVICE AS A FORM OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ PRO-SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Abstract

Volunteering, philanthropy and altruism as concepts are so much alike that they are often confused. Although these concepts are different, they interact with each other and interpenetrate, creating the pillars of pro-social activities. Volunteering, understood as a voluntary, unpaid and conscious action for other people or the community, is one of the most noble human behaviors. The aim of this paper is to determine the extent of students’ involvement in pro-social projects, as well as to define the nature and role of volunteering in the lives of young people.<br/><br/>
