Spontaneous Volunteering 

WHAT IS A SPONTANEOUS VOLUNTEER

Spontaneous volunteers are individuals or groups of people who have a strong desire to help. They are not affiliated with a volunteer involving organisation or formal emergency responders. Various terms including community volunteers, emergent volunteers and informal volunteers are often used interchangeably with the term spontaneous volunteer. These individuals perceive the immediacy of the situation and believe that their skills, resources, and experiences can help their community recover faster from the disaster. Based on their location and the type of activity they perform, spontaneous volunteers can be categorised into four types: local leaders, local helpers, external leaders and external helpers (Ahmad, 2024:  www.volunteeringwa.org.au/assets/downloads/spontaneous-volunteer-engagement-report-vwa-july-2024.pdf)
