Abstract
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.
