Volunteering has been an integral part of the lives of people and communities all over the world. Individuals and institutions benefit from the valuable assistance of volunteer workers who share their knowledge, skills, time and resources in the areas of technical assistance, social services, humanitarian support and peace-building. The Philippines is a country which takes pride in its rich histor
y of volunteerism through the "bayanihan", the tradition of helping one another to promote family, community and societyโs welfare. Through the years, this Filipino brand of volunteerism evolved to engage all sectors - government, NGOs, academic institutions and corporate groups to participate in volunteer service for development. Recognizing the important contributions of volunteerism in nation-building, the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) leads the promotion and coordination volunteer programs and services in the Philippines, to maximize the benefits that may be derived from volunteer assistance and properly gauge the contributions of volunteers to national development and international cooperation.
