From active citizenship to service?

Finally, there may also be implications for the wider outcomes of volunteering. If volunteering continues to be conceptualised and organised as unpaid work, rather than as activism, mutual aid or serious leisure, for example; and if the involvement of volunteers continues to become narrower and shallower, more about consensus than conflict, then there are implications for the ability of volunteering to contribute to society above and beyond its role in service delivery. By enhancing their role in service delivery, and the changes that this brings in terms of professionalisation, formalisation and hybridisation, TSOs may provide more space for unpaid work, but less space for sociability, conviviality, solidarity, contest and debate. As earlier commentators such as Milligan and Fyfe (2005) suggested, volunteering may become more about service and less about active citizenship.
