Volunteer

A volunteer is a person who performs or offers to perform a service out of his or her own free will, often without payment. The year 2001 was the International Year of the Volunteer.

• A list of volunteer organisations.
  • Service club
  • community emergency response team
• A list of online volunteer projects
