The requirements, inherent in the activities of social volunteers, are worked out. The mandatory quality and equity of volunteers is disclosed. The positive experience of social volunteering in educating youth (on the example of the Volunteer Association of Moscow region) is given. The impact of the volunteer movement on the development of civil society and the development of citizenship is given.
