The Voluntary Work Administration is one of the newly established administrations in a time-honored university. The university’s interest in volunteer work goes back to the year 1418 A.H., when the first scientific conference for voluntary services was held. Since then, their interest in this field has never faded. For example, a symposium on volunteer work and future prospects was held in 1433 A.H. Then the Voluntary Work Unit was established at the College of Community Service, which was later accredited as a vice deanship in the College of Community Service and Continuing Education. Finally, the UQU President issued a decision to establish the Voluntary Work Administration on 22 Dhul-Qi`dah, 1441 A.H., as an independent administration affiliated to His Excellency the Vice President for Development and Community Service.
