Importance of volunteering

A two-way street: whoever does and who receives wins

Volunteering is a pillar of the third sector, which contributes a lot to an active and participatory citizenship. This action promotes equality, inclusion and the relentless pursuit of universal fraternity.

Volunteering means dedicating time and skills to helping other people or non-profit organizations without the need for financial compensation. On December 5th, the International Volunteer Day is celebrated, established by the United Nations (UN) in 1985, with the intention of valuing volunteer actions around the world.
