Chapter 12

COMMUNITY
VOLUNTEERISM
Volunteerism
Is the act, practice, or principle of
contributing one's time, talents, and
resource freely for worthwhile purpose
without tangible compensation.

•Some volunteers have high-paying jobs


and stable careers, others are well
known in their fields.
• One does not become a volunteer by
simply raising his or her hand. A
volunteer has to undergo trainings and
attend seminars for specific functions or
tasks that he or she volunteers for.

• It is geared toward good causes that


help alleviate the suffering of others.
Marjorie Moore(2004), in her article
"The Beacon" describes the volunteer as
follows:
A volunteer is a person who is a light to
others, giving witness in a mixed-up age, doing
well and willingly the task at hand namely,
being aware of another's need and doing
something about it.

 A volunteer is a person who is strives to


make other people happy, who takes the
loneliness out of the alone by talking to
them, who is concerned when others are
unconcerned.
A volunteer is a person whose charity is
fidelity, who is faithful in an unfaithful world,
grateful in an ungrateful world, giving when all
are grasping, listening when others need to
tell about their fears and problems.

• • Volunteers are people from all walks of life,


all ages and stages, having a common desire
to make a difference in their community and
their own life by giving of their time and
expertise.
