Recently gets an urgency such direction of public work, as volunteering. About disinterested aid and a dobrovolchestvo we know from history of development of mankind.

Today volunteering gained multidimensional character. One of the Russian sociologists E.I.Holostova treats this concept as follows: «Volunteers (from English volunteer - the volunteer) are the people doing something voluntarily, in a consent, instead of on coercion. They can act or is informal, to work free of charge as in state, and the private organizations of the medical, educational sphere, or social security or to be members of the voluntary organizations... Volunteers in modern value of this word are members of public association of a social orientation». Always there are the people capable on gratuitous bases to assist needing, thus influencing transformation of modern to it of society. «Youth – traditionally most socially active demographic group, which can become (and in special cases is now) a basis of large-scale volontersky movement».

Besides, the youth culture comprises a special way of perception of the system of cultural wealth and, from here, it settles down at higher level of subcultural stratification in relation to standard culture. It is a social community which each member of society compares with youth as an inevitable part of the mechanism of reproduction, and each representative of this social community himself identifies itself with it. Commitment to subculture means acceptance and division by the young man of her mentality and external attributes.

Volunteering can be carried to one of manifestations of youth subculture. This social phenomenon assumes both self-expression, and development of a civic stand of the young man.

Formally without being professional level of social work, the dobrovolchestvo carries out concrete social functions. It means that volontersky activity has the orientation moral education, revival in the social environment of universal values of culture and moral without which the state is doomed to death.

One of effective methods of introduction of volunteering on public Wednesday are practical activities of teenage volontersky groups. Example of such group «Volontersky group "Molniya" of Chelyabinsk.
