Abstract: Volunteering is consider to be any activity intended to help others that is provided without obligation for which the volunteer does not receive pay or other material compensation. Given the role and the importance of volunteering as a productive resource, the non – profit organizations mainly driven by volunteers need to have a good management of these resources, which could be a tricky issue considering the lack of any financial rewards. After a short briefing of the role of volunteering and NPO’s, the paper presents several elements important for a successful volunteer management, focusing on two aspects: recruiting and retention, including the motivation of volunteers and on rewards system, including the concept of psychological contract.
