Seniors-resources in the community
Seniors-resources in the community

Summary/Abstract: In this paperwork, have started from the premise that seniors can represent a resource in the community by manifesting prosocial behavior and volunteering. One of the questions of interest here is focused on knowing the motivation of sessions to exercise prosocial behavior. A concept used to explain the activities carried out by seniors is that of volunteering. Through this article, I have developed an analysis of the volunteering activities carried out in the two rural-urban environments, focusing on available resources. On the other hand, we also analyzed the benefits of volunteering on seniors. The study materials used include both national and international studies on civic involvement and active ageing, with emphasis on senior volunteering. Subsequent research will be able to analyze how older people can be stimulated to engage in volunteering and contribute to community welfare.
