By volunteering, individuals acquire incredible expertise, learn about different know-how, and innovative skills. Anyway, in several cases, skills and experiences gained through volunteering activities and events are not always decently credited and identified. Enhancement of skills through volunteering can be utilized for the expansion of employment rate of individuals or for personnel growth, but this opportunity is rarely used. Occasions and activities of non-governmental organisations usually stay on the participation of volunteers and youngsters who want to invest their time, energy, passion, and initiative. When it is well accomplished, volunteering is a success for all engaged stakeholders, including: - volunteers gain soft and hard skills fostering qualification and self-confidence for the labour industry; - non-governmental organisations obtain extra performances and support, that wouldn't be achievable without the volunteers' dedication and loyalty; - as well as the local community gets perks in many different ways associated with the particular activities performed by the volunteer. Non-governmental organisations from the EU engaging in this project designed a partnership to find a solution on how to perform voluntary work more effectively on national and European level. Even if volunteers are happily involved in civil society projects, or even their foremost power and leading implementer, very often these emphatic and positive examples don't approach a broader audience because visibility measures for promoting these success stories are not in place or only have restricted reach. The overall purpose of that partnership was to emphasise the significance of volunteering as a successful gateway for skills improvement and into employment. It should have been declared that in our communities there was undergoing a political transformation process directed to progress to more democratic communities based on social responsibility and active citizenship, and positive examples of active participation and energetic and committed individuals were necessary. Another voluntary work aspect in the EU is the low participation of youngsters with disadvantaged backgrounds or from lower socio-economic environments. Unfortunately, in many cases, voluntary work is performed by someone with higher education or from a higher economic level. Volunteer service can serve as a "ticket" for future employment and attaining experience in a particular field of this work. Therefore, the objectives of "Passion for Volunteering" were to: - Conceptualize with the project partners their approaches to volunteering in their work context; - Foster individual and organizational competencies in planning, implementing, mentoring, and evaluating local and international volunteering projects; - Develop organizational solutions for inclusion of young people in volunteering projects; - Develop organizational schedules and strategies for the most indispensable moves in volunteering projects. The training course "Passion for Volunteering" was associated with Erasmus+ Programme priorities by aiming at improving volunteering projects to strengthen the capacity of youth-based non-governmental organizations and interested parties carrying out educational programs and social-based activities with the volunteers' involvement. As a result of the enhanced abilities in realizing volunteering projects, it was assumed that active citizenship and youth participation would develop at the local level promoting volunteering and social responsibility among youngsters and boosting the recognition of local and social and international activism for community evolution in rural and urban space. Consequently, "Passion for Volunteering" directly targeted the following priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme in the youth sector: - Development of competencies of youth workers; - Stimulation of quality improvements in youth work; - Supplementing the international aspects of youth activities.
