Voluntary service organization is an important subject of voluntary service. The "Regulations" clearly stipulate that voluntary service organizations refer to "non-profit organizations established according to law for the purpose of voluntary service".
Li Fang, a professor at Qingdao University Law School, said that voluntary service organizations are non-profit organizations, which are different from for-profit enterprises and other organizations. Voluntary service organizations aim at developing voluntary service, which is different from other non-profit organizations that do not aim at voluntary service.
In terms of the forms of voluntary service organizations, the regulations clearly stipulate that voluntary service organizations can take the forms of social groups, social service institutions and foundations.
Zhao Jinfang, vice president of China Volunteer Service Federation, said that this will help to clarify the relationship between volunteer service organizations and other social service providers, promote various volunteer service organizations to clearly define their positions, strengthen management, enhance their capabilities, expand their fields, effectively release their creativity and productivity, and improve the professional and scientific level of volunteer service.
"Specialization is the development trend of voluntary service. Only by giving full play to personal professional wisdom and experience and serving the interests of the public can we better solve social problems. " Li Fang said. The regulations clearly stipulate that the state encourages and supports state organs, enterprises and institutions, people's organizations and social organizations to set up volunteer service teams to carry out professional volunteer service activities, and encourages and supports volunteers with professional knowledge and skills to provide professional volunteer service.
Establish the operating rules of voluntary service
The "Regulations" clarify that voluntary service should follow the principles of voluntariness, free of charge, equality, honesty and legality, and must not violate social morality, harm public interests and the legitimate rights and interests of others, or endanger national security.
Zhao Jinfang said that the "Regulations" stipulate that volunteers, volunteer service organizations and volunteers can sign agreements as needed to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties and stipulate the contents, methods, time, place, working conditions and safeguard measures of volunteer service. The agreed way promotes the institutionalization and normalization of volunteer service activities.
"The" Regulations "require strengthening the management of volunteer recruitment, rights protection, ability training, service arrangement, incentive feedback, funding guarantee and information recording. And establish corresponding supervision systems such as complaints and reports, which provides a legal basis for further standardizing the management of volunteer service organizations. " Party Yun Xiu, a professor at the School of Management of the Central University for Nationalities, said.
According to the regulations, volunteers can participate in voluntary service activities carried out by voluntary service organizations or carry out voluntary service activities according to law. No organization or individual may forcibly assign volunteers or voluntary service organizations to provide services, and may not engage in profit-making activities in the name of voluntary service.
"The" Regulations "start with adjusting the volunteer service relationship, focus on promoting the standardization and institutionalization of the volunteer service relationship, and highlight the protection of the rights and interests of the parties involved in the volunteer service relationship." Xiao, a professor at the Law School of Shandong University, said that it is an inevitable requirement for the healthy development of volunteer service to standardize volunteer service activities, stop and correct illegal acts in the field of volunteer service and maintain the relationship of volunteer service.
Improve the overall level of voluntary service.
In order to promote the development of volunteer service, the regulations stipulate that people's governments at or above the county level shall formulate policies and measures to promote the development of volunteer service according to the economic and social development, and reasonably arrange the funds needed for volunteer service.
The regulations also stipulate that schools, families and society should cultivate teenagers' awareness and ability of voluntary service. The state encourages enterprises and other organizations to give priority to recruiting volunteers with good volunteer service records under the same conditions. The civil service examination and the recruitment of public institutions can include the situation of voluntary service in the scope of investigation.
"Active policy guidance and government support are conducive to fully tapping and effectively utilizing various social resources, to the popularization and formation of volunteer service culture and ideas, to the formation of a multi-cooperative volunteer service supply model, and to the gradual development of volunteer service." Party Yun Xiu said.
Zhao Jinfang said that according to the Regulations on the Legal Status and Role of Voluntary Service Industry Organizations, voluntary service industry organizations will gain more development space in the future and will also assume more industry responsibilities.
"It is necessary to play the role of leading norms and self-discipline, guide the construction of work style, strengthen industry supervision, and provide strong help for the supervision of voluntary service organizations." Zhao Jinfang said: "We should play a leading and coordinating role in the service of voluntary service organizations, promote industry communication, reflect industry demands, promote industry innovation, strive for strong support for the development of voluntary service organizations, and make due contributions to further improving the overall service capacity and development level of the voluntary service industry."
