volunteer services
Donated labor programs
Volunteer services refers to organized programs or departments that coordinate unpaid work performed by individuals who freely give their time and effort to help others or support a cause.
Many hospitals, nonprofits, and community organizations maintain volunteer services offices that recruit, train, and manage volunteers.
The volunteer services coordinator matched retirees with opportunities at the food bank.
The term may also refer collectively to the work itself rather than the administrative unit.
