According to the specific situation of our country, the definition of volunteers is: "When our own conditions permit, we don't ask for any material, money or related benefits in return, make rational use of existing social resources, voluntarily make personal contributions, and carry out practical, professional, skilled and caring service activities to help people in need."

Volunteers are also called volunteers, voluntary workers or volunteers. They are committed to contributing to social progress for free. Voluntary work refers to organized help and participation based on social public welfare responsibility. Its development can be traced back to World War II, when the rise of welfarism led to the collapse of government expenditure in various countries, and the development of voluntary work was to solve the overwhelming needs of society.

Volunteers are defined by the United Nations as "activists who voluntarily serve the public interest without obtaining any benefits, money, fame and fortune", especially those who can take the initiative to assume social responsibilities and dedicate their personal time and actions without receiving any remuneration.
