Abstract

Volunteering is one of the various social activities that human societies have known and practiced since their inception. It is not the outcome of the last decades of the life of these societies, but it was present in almost every human civilization in its various forms and methods. Voluntary work is of great importance as far as individuals and societies are concerned. It is a symbol of solidarity among the members of the community and all its institutions. It positively affects people's lives as well as the community at large. It symbolizes the meanings of good, giving, and help. Accordingly, volunteering has become a cornerstone in building society and social cohesion among its members. In this regard, voluntary work is of great importance. It necessitates the need to spread this culture in the society and to promote and develop volunteerism among young people using all available and possible methods.
