volunteer program
Charitable work initiative
A volunteer program is an organized effort that recruits and coordinates unpaid workers for a cause or organization.
Schools, nonprofits, and corporations run volunteer programs to channel goodwill into structured activities: The hospital's volunteer program pairs visitors with lonely patients.
The term sometimes appears in contexts where "voluntary" is questionable, as when courts mandate community service through a volunteer program.
