Abstract
Volunteering contributes to the social activity of the population, helps to its involvement in the life of local communities and to its participation in the development of civil society. In addition to the economic and social effect on society, volunteering has a number of positive impacts on specific people, in particular on older people (through meeting social needs, improving psychological health, etc.). The article shows the possibilities of involving older people in social life on real examples of the several volunteer movements and public organizations work, in Western countries and Russia. It is revealed that the state attitude to this social movement in Western countries and in Russia is significantly different. The participation of «silver» volunteers in Russia is complicated by the existing social stereotypes, the direction of public policy; but at the same time, there are promising cases of involving the elder people in volunteer activities. Attracting «silver» volunteers along with young ones during the XXII Winter Olympics in the city of Sochi 2014. and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, testifies to a change in the vector of state policy regarding the «silver» volunteering.
