Mission:
Volontärbyrån is an agency of nonprofit mission and makes it easy for people and nonprofit organizations to find each other. Volontärbyrån supports and educates nonprofit organizations in managing, recruiting and motivating volunteers. The aim is that volunteering creates connectedness between people, gives us the opportunity to participate in society and makes us feel good. Volunteering in the voluntary sector can come in many ways, but common is that it is voluntary and based on the individual’s own motivation . We think it is important that voluntary engagement based on the individual ‘s own will and not based on duty or coercion, or that it is a precondition for example, grants or rating.
