“…Individuals can pursue networking, career advancement, and skill development through volunteering (Casey, 2014). Other benefits include: developing a sense of achievement, confidence, and fulfillment, making new friendships, personal and religious satisfaction (Butt et al, 2015), good health (Byrd, 1984), sense of belonging (Veitch, 2013), stress management (Kim & Morgül, 2017). The voluntary sector plays a vital role in social learning and life (Kamerāde & Paine, 2014;Lengrand, 1982) and serves as a training ground for active living, where youth acquire skills that will be "useful" in the workplace (Cortesero, 2013).…”

Young people are an asset to Pakistan, and they can play a vital role in the country's social and economic development. Non-formal education to promote volunteering activity in Pakistan can endorse the professional and social integration of the young labor force by preparing them with the labor's contemporary skills. The current study is an attempt to explore the situation in Pakistan and identify: (a) if non-formal education plays a role in youth's engagement in volunteering activity; (b) why young people volunteer; (c) what they can learn through volunteering; (d) the significant barriers which can prevent them from volunteering even after getting the training and opportunities to volunteer. Data was collected using purposive sampling from 4 different nonprofit organizations (NPOs), with city offices in three major cities of Pakistan. NPOs, on their end, collected the data form the youth volunteers working with them randomly using an online survey. The research findings revealed that non-formal education plays a significant role in ensuring young people's engagement in volunteering activity. The findings and recommendations from the study can guide youth initiatives and policies in Pakistan to include systematic and consistent non-formal education programs to promote youth volunteerism in Pakistan.

“…Psychologists’ narrow core professional identity appears to be particularly vulnerable in interprofessional settings. Veitch (2012) provides an excellent and provocative discussion on the interdisciplinary trend in research settings, underway since the 1980s, to blur discipline boundaries, often removing discipline structures entirely. Many of the challenges to psychology in public practice institutions, as reported to The CPA Task Force on the Future of Publicly Funded Psychology Services in Canada, represents a parallel shift to collaborative interprofessional program models.…”

“…As I heard John Service say several years ago as then Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Executive Director: “the good ship CPA is built on volunteers.” The CPA Board, committees, sections, task forces, directorates, accreditation panel, and so forth, are built on the time of dedicated volunteers, a dedication fueled by a passion for the psychology profession and discipline and what it has to offer. Last year’s recipient of this award, Jennifer Veitch (2012), in a thoughtful article entitled “Reflections on Service to CPA,” noted that professional volunteering is rewarding, and these personal rewards include influence, feelings of mastery, and belonging.…”

Significant economic and interprofessional competitive challenges confront psychology's professional associations. In meeting these challenges effectively, it is argued that the profession must first insure that it is not hampering itself from within its own structures by internal and external insularity, unadaptive training models producing an inadequate supply of comprehensively trained graduates, and noninclusive entry to practice standards. Advocacy goals to increase access to psychological services are critically examined, and inclusion in public health programs such as Medicare considered. It is also suggested that for advocacy for increased access to psychology to have tangible results, structural changes to psychology's training models, consistent with supply needs and entry to practice requirements, are urgently required. Professional associations, which are the embodiment of our collective disciplinary consciousness, are the appropriate place to debate the structural foundation for psychology's future.
