“…The call to action can be streamlined through different methods, such as persons (CEOs, endorsers, older volunteers, among others), symbols, or other options that might include more traditional media, social networks, or more recent formats, such as podcasts. In this vein, the general justifications for the strategies presented below consider that significant predictors of the willingness to volunteer include age, reliance on information sources and past volunteering activities (Brewis & Holdsworth, 2011 ; Rosychuk et al, 2008 ); therefore, it seems appropriate to use activities such as organising sessions in schools and other public places (e.g., parishes) where volunteer activities might have taken place in the past, as well as in companies, since corporate volunteering is a growing trend with win–win impact (Licandro et al, 2022 ). At the same time, confronting the disability stigma among the general public might produce important positive benefits (Walker & Scior, 2013 ).…”

This paper aims to characterise the profiles of individuals likely to feel discouraged to volunteer in the field of intellectual disability. The socio-emotional contours of intellectual disability hinder the involvement of volunteers in this field. There is evidence of the particular barriers to volunteering in activities involving intellectually disabled people, but there is a dearth of research on the characteristics of individuals that mention such barriers. A survey applied to 197 individuals allowed, through latent classes, to identify three clusters of individuals—assuming volunteering as having a negative impact; unawareness of the reality of intellectual disability; and no barriers to volunteering; and three groups of barriers to volunteering in the field of intellectual disability—characteristics of intellectually disabled people; awareness; introversion. Based on the characteristics of the clusters identified, the study addresses possible strategies to overcome the constraints, aiming at involving volunteers in activities targeting individuals with intellectual impairments and to better target the recruitment of volunteering actions in this field. The continuous understanding of barriers to donate time can allow institutions to minimise constraints and overcome hurdles by emphasising the value of experiences that meet the motivations of volunteers.
