Volunteering is insufficiently researched and analyzed in Croatia, which is surprising considering the benefits that volunteering brings to the individual and society. Given that the Republic of Croatia has not yet found an adequate solution to the low employability of young people, volunteering can be offered as an adequate solution. The subject of this research is the relationship between volunteering and the labor market, i.e. how the experience of volunteering has helped people in the labor market and at work. The research was conducted during July and August 2023, using the qualitative method of a semi-structured interview. The interviews included fifteen participants, employed young people aged 18-34, of different gender, education and marital status. All participants said that employers always responded positively to volunteering and stated that the skills they acquired during volunteering help them in their current job. Most of the participants believed that volunteering in Croatia is not recognized and that the state does not encourage its citizens to volunteer.
