Volunteering:
Building community
Social capitol
Connecting people
Involving people
Sue Hine in her blog today (address on links) states “Volunteering is an expression of active citizenship, giving, and value to community wellbeing” and then goes on to state:
“Note it is a description, not a definition.”
I kept coming back to that one line today. “Note it is a description, not a definition.”
Why did it resonate so much? Perhaps we can only attempt to describe volunteering. Perhaps it is a fallacy to attempt to define it. Perhaps we cannot define something as ever changing and fluid as volunteering.
Happy International Volunteer Day to volunteers all around our globe!
A musing on Volunteer Management, Volunteerism and life in general.
