Volunteering in the Process of Becoming a Human Being

Becoming human is a process that every person must go through if they are to progress towards maturity. This process takes place in a triple context: self-reflection, discovering and accepting values as one’s own, and interpersonal relationships. And it is this third plane that allows a man to discover the otherness of the world of people he meets on the way of his life. Their needs, their weaknesses, a kind of clumsiness can become a factor that triggers activity that will benefit those who receive support, but also a person acting for others, because they get a chance to reflect, reflect and ultimately be guided by values in life, that allow real good to be realized. The article deals with the issue of volunteering as an important factor shaping the inner world of a volunteer. It captures the development and striving for the good of a person engaged in volunteering in a social context, with a particular indication of two different examples in which volunteering is currently carried out.
