volunteers in hungarian environmentalism
Agreed to a round table discussion, including Hungarian non-profit organizations, happened last week in Budapest, the number of volunteers coming and working in Hungarian non-profit organizations grown evidently in past 5-6 years.
Volunteer motivation can be different, but there are some main reasons:
-single women searching contacts and love relationship(85 percent of cases)
-high school students are spending their compulsory volunteer work period(since 60 hrs of volunteer work is compulsory for them, agreed to a new governement decision)
-university and college students, eager to gather professional experiences and later on become employees of these organizations
-leisure time spending
Volunteering in non-profit ecological organizations is more accentuated, than elsewhere. In environmentalism and ecology, action and participation are very important, and hereby the role of volunteers is enormus.
