Abstract

The article highlights the importance of volunteering as a way to create more democratic, caring and responsible society. It overviews the possibilities and personal benefits offered by this activity nowadays. It also emphasizes the significance of volunteering in sport events as a way for introducing the importance of physical exercise for humans’ health. It shows the results from a study aimed at exploring the experience in volunteering of university’ students in Bulgaria and Macedonia as well as their motives to stay or become a volunteer. The results show that young people do not have much experience in this field and that they are not very well educated about all possibilities that volunteering offers today. The authors give some recommendations for the promotion of volunteering among young people.
