Normalization and Logic of Community Volunteer Service——Case Analysis Based on District L
Volunteer service is an important indicator of social civilization,and promoting the normali-zation of volunteer service is an inevitable requirement for the development of volunteer service in the new era.Community volunteer service differs significantly from the public welfare emphasized by general volun-teer service and the autonomy emphasized by foreign volunteer service.Therefore,we need to consider the normalization of community volunteer services from the perspective of modernization of grassroots govern-ance.It emphasizes a close connection with governance and undertakes the mission of"improving govern-ance through service".Research on practical experience in district L has found that the normalization of community volunteer service is the result of grassroots mobilization and reorganization.Specifically,the country is embedded in the development process of volunteer services,and the state mobilizes communities to establish volunteer service organizations through three major measures:project-based operation,adap-tive docking,and selective incentives,promoting the reorganization of grassroots society.The community follows a certain process to guide residents to organize themselves step by step based on specific spaces and affairs,and under the guidance of the backbone of residents,independently carry out volunteer services,so that community volunteer service organizations can continue to operate.It can be said that the process of normalizing community volunteer services is the process of the government and community working together to promote the reorganization of residents.The logical connection between the reorganization of residents and the normalization of community volunteer services lies in the five characteristics of organizations,name-ly the endogeneity of organizational form,the driving force of organizational backbone,the constraint of or-ganizational action,the feasibility of organizational incentives,and the localization of organizational re-sources,which meet the requirements of the normalization of volunteer services.At a deeper level,the log-ic reflected behind it is the connection between the state and society.The state reconstructs organizations and cultivates society through gradient empowerment mechanism.The government empowers communities through supply-demand adaptation and process oriented project systems.Communities encourage residents to establish volunteer service organizations by granting them the right to express their needs,the right to e-lect key members,and the right to plan activities.Society is connected to country through organized forms,and promote the joint production of community volunteer services.Therefore,the government,community,and residents can all be included in the volunteer service supply system,by using reorganization as a link.This development approach aligns with the essence that volunteer service is conducive to forming a social cooperation network,and is also conducive to building a social governance community in which everyone fulfills their responsibilities and shares in the benefits.
