The Birth of Voluntary Organizations

Society often gives a birth to those who want to help others. Social help is some kind of a self-actualization for such altruists. But only in the twentieth century the voluntary acquired features of a social phenomenon. In fact, students often choose voluntary as their extracurricular activity. Voluntary actions and youth are deeply connected, and there are lots of voluntary unions organized by youth.

After the World War I in 1920 the first voluntary project was realized. It was in France near Strasbourg. Volunteers, French and German youth, restored destroyed farms. Nowadays voluntary has gained worldwide popularity and recognition.

According to statistics the number of volunteers increased from 80 to 109 million and there are a lot of students among them.
