Civic Voluntarism Model

The Civic Voluntarism Model explains why people participate in political activities or community service. It suggests that participation depends on three main factors: resources (such as time, money, or skills), engagement (interest and motivation), and social or psychological factors (such as sense of duty or identity). Essentially, individuals are more likely to get involved if they have the ability, desire, and motivation to contribute. The model highlights that both personal circumstances and individual attitudes influence whether someone engages in civic or political actions.
