Abstract
Community service in adulthood is a topic of national significance and of considerable theoretical interest. In many countries, adults are involved in activities that are intended to benefit those who live in their communities, and perform these activities as volunteers—that is, without pay. The benefits that accrue to communities and societies as a result of these efforts are enormous, essential, and increasingly recognized; theoretical explanations to account for the participation of adults in volunteer activity abound but remain incomplete.
