• Advocating for legal and economic support of volunteer centres and volunteer involving organizations,
• Enforcing financial support for volunteering,
• Incorporating volunteering into the legal framework that would lead toward its support,
• Supporting the establishment and the development of a working position of volunteer coordinators within non-governmental and public organizations/institutions,
• Promoting volunteering as a tool for informal education,
• Enforcing volunteering as a preparation tool for the labour market.
