The root cause of the "buying and selling" of volunteer service is probably the trend of volunteer service management, which has gradually turned volunteer service into a disguised target requirement for different groups of people, such as including the educational requirements for primary and secondary school students and college students, and for example, some local Chuangwen Chuangwei has listed volunteer service as a hard indicator and has been decomposed into cadres and the masses. Some localities have also opened volunteer service apps, requiring volunteer service to punch in and implement volunteer time management.
It must be emphasized that voluntary service follows the principles of voluntariness, equality, and good faith, and citizens have the right to choose to participate, and also have the right to choose not to participate.
Too much emphasis on the management of volunteer service goals will increase the burden on citizens and detach from the reality of individual willingness and ability. If volunteering becomes a task, it will obviously be off-topic and detrimental to the legitimate rights of citizens. As for turning volunteer service into a business, it runs counter to the public welfare spirit of volunteer service, which is full of copper stench and degenerates into false formalism.
Volunteer service hours are regarded as a commodity "sale", which must be cracked down, and at the same time, it also sounded a wake-up call to tell relevant organizers in some places that volunteer service should return to "volunteering" itself as soon as possible.
