Summary/Abstract: The Russian invasion of Ukraine convinced the Polish government that permanent mobilizationf Polish people in the state defence is an absolute necessity. The third sector organizations play an invaluable role in this respect, and they have become an essential partner of the country’s defence system as far as their effort to organize suitable educational courses and improvement in upgrading pro-defensive abilities of Polish people are concerned. The article presents legal acts enabling the third sector to act effectively in the field of the state defence, a short overview of the articles concerning the subject as well as the results of the project conducted by the „PASSA” Association of Professional Activity in Kielce. The project was carried out within the competition announced by the Polish Ministry of Defence: „A State Defence and Activity of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland: You too can serve your homeland”. The analysis of the subject literature as well as the presented case study justify the conclusion that the third sector organizations can effectively support the government in its effort to improve the state defence system.
