Law 660 of June 13, 2018 - WHICH REGULATES VOLUNTEERING, aims to recognize, define, regulate, encourage and facilitate voluntary citizen participation in non-profit organizations, private organizations whether national, foreign or mixed and public institutions in Paraguay.
 
The word voluntary is derived from the Latin word "voluntas", which means will. We adopt the definition of a volunteer as a person who "freely undertakes to carry out an unpaid action to benefit others, outside of their work and family time" (Chéroute, 1989).
 
An action can only be considered volunteer work if these five conditions are met:
 
Volunteers are committed people (Notion of Commitment)
Of your own free will (Notion of Freedom),
Without expecting any return (Notion of a Non-Profit Action),
In an organized action (Notion of Belonging to a Group or Structure)
To serve the community (Notion of Common Interest).

In general, volunteer work gives volunteers the satisfaction of doing something for the general good, a goal, and a place in society. You can fulfill a variety of wishes, such as expanding the circle of friends and acquaintances, gaining experience, gaining new skills, and gaining recognition through helping others.
 
The volunteers of the XII South American Games Asunción 2022 will show the hospitality of the Paraguayan citizen and their performance will mark the ability to work towards common and social benefits, being transforming agents of change for their community, their city and for all South Americans. Young people, adults, the elderly and people with disabilities will be volunteers, who without monetary compensation will support this great event with their time, work and talent.
