Aims and Organization of Voluntary Service by Youth

Az önkéntesség motivációs ereje értékrendalapú megközelítés a Z generációs fiatalok körében

“…Lough és Tiessen megemlíti, hogy a kezdeti időszakban a fiatalok csoportjai a nemzetközi munkaügyi önkéntességre összpontosítottak, amely programok fókuszpontjában a békével kapcsolatos tevékenységek vagy a különböző kultúrájú emberek közös érdekeinek és megértésének kialakítása állt. A nemzetközi önkéntességi programok közötti különbségekre további szakértők is felhívták a figyelmet (Woods, 1971;Gillette, 1972;Furco, 1996;Sherradan et al, 2008). A 1970-es években a nemzetközi önkéntes programokat két alapvető cél szempontjából lehetett megkülönböztetni.…”

Revisiting reciprocity in international volunteering

“…Although a number of bilateral IVCOs experimented with this form of reciprocal programming in early years, they eventually abandoned the idea because of ongoing disparities that ultimately prevented reciprocal co-operation (Lough, 2015b). In the end, inequalities in stipends, insurance and other fringe benefits provided to international volunteers and their local counterparts quickly hampered feelings of equity and reciprocity between counterparts (Gillette, 1972). In addition, it was difficult for volunteers to overcome the often ‘rural/urban, educated/uneducated, wealthy/poor’ divisions between volunteers from high- and low-income countries (Woods, 1974: 39).…”

How do International Volunteering Characteristics Influence Outcomes? Perspectives from Partner Organizations

“…One notable exception was a focus on international workcamp volunteering by groups of young people, which focused on volunteers' peace-related roles and on establishing common interests and understandings among people of different cultures (CCIVS 1984;Gillette 1968;Woods 1971). Gillette (1972) expounded on how differences between ''participant-centered aims'' and ''society-centered aims'' could distinguish goals of international volunteer programs. Andrew Furco used a similar function to distinguish between programs with a focus on the volunteer as beneficiary, and those with a focus on the hosting community or organization as beneficiary (1996).…”

“…Although a few scholars also investigated shorter-term workcamp placements performed by young people, no typology emerged based on volunteer placement duration (CCIVS 1984;Gillette 1968Gillette , 1972. Davis Smith et al (2005) specified that duration of service often distinguished development aid and international understanding as the two primary goals of IVS.…”
