Summary/Abstract: When helping other person we usually focus on what kind of help we offer and who we help. We often don't pay attention to person, who offers help. The goal of this summary is to talk about that person – to show, who the volunteer is, in a specific context of street work with homeless people. This article shows not only, who street workers are, but it also shows their work ethics and their attitude towards people they help. The research that has been done omits detailed stat analysis in order to focus full attention to parameters and indicators of this particular social study. Because of this process we manage to obtain a vivid and true image of street worker‘s agenda.
