03-07-2009 14:58 Volunteer movement developing in Ukraine
Ukraine annually saves nearly UAH 200 million (UAH 7.63 / USD 1) on the charity work of social volunteers, Director of the State Social Service for Family, Children and Young People Natalia Lukianova has said at a press conference entitled “Volunteer 2009: A Social Portrait and Life Priorities”.
She said that the number of volunteers working in the system of social agencies for family, children and young people was four times greater (nearly 20,000 people) than that of social workers (5,000 people). A total of 305 volunteer schools have ensured professional training for social volunteers since 2004, and their number currently is 540. Ukraine has passed a number of laws regulating volunteer activity in the social sector, particularly laws on social work with families, children and young people and on social services.
