Summary/Abstract: Our paper aims to analyse our students’ reasons to involve in a volunteer program meant to offer support (mentored activities – additional training) for children from social care institutions. In spite of general opinion expressed by media, which often describe young people as irresponsible, unable to adapt to labour market etc., we were impressed by the number of young students that offered to be volunteers, scarifying their spare time to help children from social care institutions to make homework, to develop their learning competences. Advantages, opportunities and future directions for volunteer programs, suggested by our subjects are also discussed here.
