Voluntary Association

A voluntary association is a group formed by individuals who choose to come together based on shared interests, goals, or values, without being forced or mandated by law. These associations can include clubs, professional organizations, charitable groups, or social clubs. Members typically join freely, contribute their time or resources, and participate in activities that align with their common purpose. Voluntary associations play important roles in community building, advocacy, and social support, operating on principles of mutual interest and cooperation rather than government control or mandate.
