ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the sampled volunteers did when they gave to schools. Some interviewees augmented the demographic profile by adding that their school's usual volunteer often belonged to a two-parent family and spoke English well. Voluntarism was seen as an avenue whereby givers could develop ties with others. The donation of time to a person's own children also emerges from the affective bond children are likely have with their parents, though very few interviewees expressed their predispositions in those terms. Some uncommon volunteers are much younger than seniors and have an occupational connection to schools. The volunteers and those who worked closely with them were asked why people contributed time to schools. A core element of voluntarism or benevolence is a resource in the form of service, money, or a good. The resource is transferred from one person to another, thus affirming that giving is a social action.
