System analysis, descriptive methods, observation methods, text research methods were used to determine the essential characteristics, components of the process of organizing volunteer activities. It is worth noting that volunteering has its own peculiarities and problems in implementation. Therefore, it is relevant to study the mechanisms of organization and functioning of volunteer organizations. The volunteer organization, like any public association of people in Ukraine, is carried out exclusively on the principles of voluntariness. Volunteers are pressing the state in parallel to send resources and help to the needy and the military. Such cooperation not only supports the state in difficult moments, but also reveals the highest level of organization of civil society. The concept of volunteering and volunteer activity are analyzed in this research. Attention is focused by author on the peculiarities of the emergence of volunteer activity in the world. The world experience of creating volunteer organizations and the process of their activity was studied. The norms of the legislation of Ukraine, which regulate the activities of volunteer organizations, are considered. The main problems that arise during the activities of volunteer organizations are outlined. Areas of cooperation between volunteer organizations and state authorities are shown. The role of volunteer organizations in helping the military and civilian population in the conditions of Ukraine's war with the Russian Federation is defined. The leading volunteer organizations that provide assistance in wartime are considered in Ukraine. Volunteerism as a phenomenon arose in society a long time ago, but Western countries have much more experience in this matter than our state. The activity of volunteers on the territory of Ukraine has become significantly noticeable since the occupation of the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in 2014. From that moment a new way of volunteering in Ukraine begins.
