The application of the study of the history and current state of volunteering is conditioned by the presence of some systemic problems, such as political and legal, profit, environmental, and socio-artistic, which are reflected at the global and community levels. In ultra-modern countries, where the behavior and impact of destructive spheres are complex and multidimensional, it is not always possible to overcome these problems without the participation of active citizens who engage in volunteer activities. At the present stage, volunteering is an important social force in terms of the number and nature of conditionality, which, together with other political institutions such as countries, interstate and supranational associations, determines the policies and strategies of the future of humanity. Therefore, the article aims to summarize theoretical provisions on the content of volunteering, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its historical development and current state. An equally important task is to substantiate practical recommendations on promising ways to develop domestic volunteering, in particular among students. In the course of the study, general scientific and special methods were used, which allowed for a comprehensive study of the historical, theoretical aspects, and praxeological dimensions of volunteering. The method of analysis was chosen to process scientific works on the research topic. The method of synthesis was utilized to systematize scientific developments. Besides, observation and generalization allowed us to comprehend the identified international and Ukrainian realities of volunteering development. Moreover, concretization was applied to formulate specific conclusions and proposals based on the material analyzed.
