Volunteering

In general terms, volunteering is the practice of people working on behalf of others or a particular cause without payments for their time and services.

Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good , but people also volunteer for their own skill development, to meet others, to make contacts for possible employment.
