    Exploring attitudes and values about volunteerism at a Non-Governmental Organization in Gauteng, South Africa
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Thobejane, Lobisa Zanele; Mwaba, Kelvin
    The services of volunteers cover a wide range of sectors such as education, health, tourism, and rehabilitation. In addition to the wide range of services being offered, youth volunteers have different values and attitudes towards volunteerism. Many community and voluntary organizations are increasingly depending on volunteers due to reduced funding and incomes caused by the recession. The study aimed to study explore how values and attitudes of volunteerism match the volunteer fit of organizations. An exploratory qualitative design was used and the "Values and attitudes model” provided the theoretical framework for the study. Participants were recruited from a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) in Gauteng through purposive sampling.
