Volunteers play an important role in society as without volunteers society wouldn’t function due to a lack of generosity; charities and organizations would then suffer. Volunteers require qualities such as being compassionate, willing to help for free, enthusiastic with what there doing, patience and generosity. These qualities are very important and valued in society.
 * 4. Explain the importance of volunteers in society.**

Volunteers provide a free service to any needy organizations and without their services society would lack in many areas. Organizations such as UNICEF, land care Australia and the Red Cross solely rely on the services of volunteers. These volunteers participate in essential activities which overall contribute to the improvement of the wellbeing of the world. For example Australia’s dry climate is a problem; with the dry lands, bushfires are common in Australia throughout the season of summer. Without the volunteers of fire fighters the fires would then be uncontrolled and therefore the loss of lives, property and assets would then be lost. This is only one small example of where volunteers are very much needed. In this case, without the participation of volunteers Australia would have suffered much worse throughout the season of summer.

Volunteers require specific qualities that together benefit society. The people which volunteer for oranisations and agencies do not recieve any fininacial payment or materials however they contribute to these agencies and organisations for the satisfaction of helping those who are in need. Volunteers are often undervalued by our society because they do not recieve any income,
