其他摘要：The development of the Internet has created new opportunities in every field of social responsibility, including volunteering. An interesting new trend has been born – e-volunteering, which enables people to help others without leaving the house. E-volunteering is primarily based upon employee competences. It enables the sharing of knowledge and skills. In the essay, the author ponders whether e-volunteering is a thriving phenomenon. She tries to describe the new trend, pointing out its benefits and possible related issues. In the thesis, it is stated that e-volunteering is in fact prosperous. It saves volunteers’ time, reduces associated costs, and isn’t only limited to the volunteers’ neighborhood. However, this form of volunteering won’t replace the traditional volunteering activities, especially those based upon direct contact with trainees.
