Czech Republic - Année européenne du bénévolat 2011
- Word for volunteering: dobrovolnik/dobrovolnych
- Words for associations: o.s./ o.p.s.
In the Czech Republic it is possible to make a distinction between two kinds of volunteering depending on whether a volunteer is or is not a member of the organisation he or she volunteers for. The first kind is also called ‘mutually beneficial volunteering’ as opposed to the second kind which is called ‘publicly beneficial volunteering’. The Law on Voluntary.
Service applies to the latter one only.
