Voluntary work is the pillar of most organisations in Norway. Almost two thirds of all the work that is carried out by voluntary organisations is unpaid. More than half the adult population performs voluntary work during the course of a year, which is record-high in the international context.
Many voluntary groups and organisations fund part of their operations through lotteries, the sale of hot dogs and cakes at events etc. As a member, you should be prepared to take part in such voluntary efforts.
