The United Nations - UN established the first year of this millennium as the year of volunteering. During that year, this form of unpaid work, the volunteer work, was carried out by millions of people in Brazil, as the result of the extraordinary growth in number of social organizations and volunteer workers in the second half of the twentieth century. Our study seeks to identify, trough the understanding of the relationship between structural changes and individual motivations related to social causes, the reasons for the growth in number of people developing volunteer activities.
