Definición

  • Voluntary associations, as a category of social organization, are most often defined by what they are not: They are nonkinship, nongovernmental, nonprofit, and noncoercive groups. More positively described, they are collectivities with a group identity and voluntary membership, organized according to some form of common interest or purpose, that carry out or fund a set of activities such as training, socializing, discussion, analysis, planning, leisure, ceremony, worship, community service, fund-raising, lobbying, or political action, with a goal of providing some benefit for the members, a client group, or the wider society.
