Generally
(a bit of terminology)
Volunteering is free choosen activity, done for the benefit of other people, free of charge. Each volunteer gives part of his time, energy and ability for the benefit of the activity. From this activity he did not gain financial profit, but often a priceless good feeling from helping others, experiences and friendships.
Defining volunteerism in the Czech Republic is problematic, as in other post- communist countries. The totalitarian political regime devalued volunteerism during the past 40 years and turned voluntary work into obligatory socialistic collectivism. Although they now have the choice, in current society it is not easy for citizens to work without financial gains.
Dealing with this question is Mr. Fric's detailed research Donoring and Volunteering in the Czech Republic, which was recognized last year by NROS (Foundation of human society development) and the civic association AGNES (Agency for non-profit sector).
