 A volunteer is someone who serves in a community primarily
because they choose to do so. Many serve through a non-profit
organization – sometimes referred to as formal volunteering,
but a significant number also serve less formally, either
individually or as part of a group. Because these informal
volunteers are much harder to identify, they may not be
included in research and statistics on volunteering.
Beyond personal choice, a number of factors exist around
individual motivation and around the rewards for doing service
within the community. There is in most cases a range of
opinions about the point at which this service changes from
volunteering to something else.
