Choi Il-seop et al.: The cradle of building volunteer infrastructure

Compiled by current and former presidents and executives of the Korea Volunteer Forum, *The Cradle of Volunteer Infrastructure Building* is a book that looks back on the forum's journey over the past 25 years and explores the future path of volunteerism in Korea. Since its founding in 1995, the Korea Volunteer Forum has spearheaded the development of the Korean volunteer sector by conducting over 180 regular forums, research surveys, education and training, public relations and publications, as well as special and international projects over the past two decades. In particular, the forum's leaders have made significant contributions to building volunteer infrastructure in both the government and private sectors, including the enactment of the Framework Act on Volunteer Activities and the Framework Act on Sharing, and the founding of the Korea Volunteer Council, the Korea University Social Service Association, the Korean Society for Volunteer Studies, and the National Assembly Volunteer Forum. This book is structured to provide a comprehensive overview of the achievements and trends of a quarter century of Korean volunteerism by examining the forum's founding process, major accomplishments, and research projects. This book, which encapsulates the long journey of the forum and the Korean volunteer community as well as their hopes for the future, will provide insights to create a new volunteer culture and vision to lead the post-COVID New Normal era.
