Experiences of Students of the University of South Bohemia with Volunteering in Foreign Countries

Bachelor work is focused on volunteering in foreign countries. My work includes 9 under chapters of the theoretic part. The first under chapter is about concept of volunteering in general. The second under chapter indicates to volunteering in the Czech Republic. Next under chapters include history of volunteering in the Czech Republic, legislate prematurely then types and fields of voluntary activity. Following four under chapters are focused on volunteering in foreign countries that is the main topic of my bachelor work. In these under chapters I indicate a volunteering in United States of America and a volunteering in European states, furthermore I am focused on the realisation of volunteering abroad then on the non-profit organisations that mediate the volunteering in foreign countries and on the individual programs of volunteering in foreign countries, which are offered by non-profit organisations to people, who are interested. For the realisation of the explorational part of bachelor work was used a quantitative type of research, a method of inquiring, a technique of questionary. The respondents were created by the students from the University of South Bohemia. The research was realized by respondents from the individual faculties. The aim of the theoretic part was to inform students about the volunteering in foreign countries and to provide a preview which could be useful for them, if they will decide for the voluntary activity in foreign countries. The aim of the explorational part was to find out an awareness of students about volunteering in foreign countries, theirs interest about volunteering in foreign countries and actual experiences with voluntary activity. The research showed that the most of respondents would be interested in volunteering abroad. The representation of respondents with experiences of volunteering in foreign countries was low, but their specific experiences in this filed was found
