Romania
 
- Word for volunteering : volontariatul
- Words for associations: De asociere
 
The Romanian Law on Volunteering (Legea Voluntariatului) was adopted in 2001 and amended in 2006. It gives a definition of volunteering. In practice however, some observers believe that the concepts of "volunteering" and "volunteer" require further clarification.
 
For further information, see the report of the European Commission about Volunteering in Romania.

Pro Vobis National Volunteer Center

Pro Vobis National Volunteer Center is a national organization that promotes volunteering in Romania through consulting and training. Its role is to manage the national network of volunteer centers in Romania by supporting existing centers and the creation of new ones. It was established in 1992 as a social services organization. Following the experience and expertise acquired in effectively managing the volunteers, pro Vobis decided to establish the first Volunteer Center in the country as a department of the organization in 1997. The unexpected demand for services and know-how in the field of volunteer management urged Pro Vobis to change its mission accordingly, and to become the first independent and professional Volunteer Center in Romania, contributing substantially to promoting and developing the concept of volunteer center. At its 5th anniversary, in 2002, the organization became The National Volunteer Center Pro Vobis.
