The Law specifies the status of a volunteer and the volunteer organization, their rights and obligations, principles, types, and areas of activity, financial sources, etc. Also, the document envisages tools of interaction between the volunteer movement participants, as well as the area of the government interference. The bill allows using the potential of Ukrainian volunteers more actively and fully. Furthermore, the volunteers will be encouraged for active work, education, and training.

The status of a volunteer organization is conferred by the central executive authority body in the sphere of volunteer activity within five days since the receipt of a written appeal on behalf of the legal entity.
