Volunteering is an elective and free-choice act of an individual or group freely giving time and labor, often for community service.[1][2] Many volunteers are specifically trained in the areas they work, such as medicine, education, or emergency rescue. Others serve on an as-needed basis, such as in response to a natural disaster.
