Volunteering as an Indispensable Tool for Promoting Social Inclusion

Josef Slowík

Abstract:
Volunteering can be regarded as an activity which, in terms of our society started to be developed very successfully in the last few years – primarily in social services, but not only there. At the same time it is also an important tool in support of creating an inclusive environment that is the essential part of civil society. The author presents the context of volunteer service with regard to issues of social inclusion, including the opportunities and risks that can come actually with the development of these phenomena.
