Abstract
The argument over the volunteer has the increase of the activity participant and a thing of a surge of the interest and difficulty of the security of the person of activity. When I read and deciphered optimism and pessimism over the volunteer by this report, I paid my attention to what the volunteer of the new type that was different from the traditional volunteer was appearing and I used a concept called "the episodic volunteer" and arranged it. And I carried out hearing investigation in the volunteer center and examined an ideal method of the support to the new type volunteer. It is said to be different from the traditional volunteer by ① Culture, ② Choice of organization, field action, activity, ③ Length and intensity of commitment,④ Relationship with the beneficiary. And they are aimed for self-realization and like short-term participation to the organization. However, it becomes the activity with the continuity among the person himself. As a result of investigation, as for the support of the volunteer center, it was confirmed that it was not established enough even if the directionality was shown. The support that was conscious of not only continuous activity support but also continuity is demanded from the initiative of the volunteer and difficulty of the continuation. I understood that support by a viewpoint of "creating a Common Framework" which not only an independent organization but also many organizations and volunteers rolled up was necessary to bring about this continuity. And a role as the core organization of the action of "creating a Common Framework" is expected of the volunteer center.
