Abstract

The chapter assesses the profile of volunteerism in Saudi Arabia, particularly the Al-Jubail Volunteer Club and its impact to society. One-hundred ninety (190) members of the club were the respondents of the study. Descriptive research design was utilized to gain accurate profile of the situation. It is found out that the demographic profile of volunteers coincides with some previous studies in terms of age bracket and occupation. Community concern motivated volunteers to participate. Volunteers perceived volunteering as a worthwhile activity. It is something that can improve and imply positive impact on their personal development. It is further concluded, that volunteering can help in over-all development of its members and society as well. Thus, volunteerism is the fundamental demonstration of citizenship, a method for battling social barring, and an imperative benefactor to the conveyance of good quality public service.
