Summary/Abstract: Being volunteer means doing work without getting paid in return. The fact that no material benefit is received does not mean that volunteering is a transfer from volunteer to another persons. In fact, volunteering is a flow, the volunteer receiving in return more than he offered, as satisfaction, experience, own achievement, socialization, personal development and fulfillment. Not every person is willing to make voluntary work or have the necessary time, or simply is not looking for all these benefits. That's why a questionnaire was realised to present the pattern of the volunteer and to establish the variable that influence volunteering. For this we analyzed several socio-demographic and economic characteristics, using the multinomial logistic regression. The empirical results allow the author to draw some conclusions and to identify some aspects that form the basis for further research.
