What is the purpose of volunteering?

Volunteer service mission: dedication, friendship, mutual assistance and progress.

A volunteer refers to a person who voluntarily contributes his time and energy to improve social services and promote social progress without any material reward. Voluntary work has four characteristics: voluntary, unpaid, public welfare and organizational.

Taking part in voluntary work is both "helping others" and "self-help", as well as "enjoying others" and "enjoying yourself". Participating in voluntary work is not only to help others and serve the society, but also to convey love and spread civilization.

Personalization and humanization of voluntary service can effectively narrow the spiritual distance between people, reduce alienation, and play a positive role in alleviating social contradictions and promoting social stability.

Extended data:

The spirit of voluntary service with the content of "dedication, friendship, mutual assistance and progress" embodies the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, reflects the requirements of the times of social development and progress, and is the core of voluntary service activities.

At present, China's economy and society have entered a stage of high-quality development, cities have promoted voluntary service activities, and the emerging "time bank" and "love passbook" are all good explorations. Volunteers' participation in civilized transportation, helping the weak and helping the poor, teaching and helping students and other practical activities plays an extremely important role in improving citizens' ideological and moral quality, promoting the construction of urban spiritual civilization and improving the level of social governance.

"Everyone is for me and I am for everyone." Only the civilization and progress of each of us can promote the development and progress of the whole social family.

Volunteer service is an important carrier to practice socialist core values. Building a harmonious society under the new situation is inseparable from voluntary service activities. The implementation of voluntary service plays an important role in promoting the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.

Volunteers do not seek material rewards, serve others and contribute to society, but help those in need with love and kindness. This is not only the inheritance of the volunteer service concept of "learning from Lei Feng, contributing to others and improving themselves", but also the substantive embodiment of practicing socialist core values.
