ABSTRACT
Volunteering is an essential part of contemporary state and civic society. Through
volunteering citizens significantly contribute to the social and economic development
of their local communities. They expand the influence and the capacity of civil
society organisations and at the same time they have the opportunity to develop
their own skills. Volunteering teaches the principles of responsibilities, social
solidarity, generosity and subsidiarity. It also builds social capital and creates
interpersonal ties, based on cooperation. Through this it becomes the way of
development of the democracy and civil society.
