Voluntariado cívico: la percepción de las organizaciones de voluntariado sobre su desarrollo

Abstract

This paper publishes the results of a research about social volunteerism in Madrid. The research with focus groups shows that there is a strong volunteering sector in Madrid. The volunteers from Madrid belong to social organizations that have a clear image about themselves. These social organizations have an intensive internal life; they have hope in social changes, creativity and a critical point of view, but they are not developing a lobbyist public action. This paper analyses in detail the characteristics of the organizations and the components of the necessary plan to improve them.
