In the context of sustainable development, volunteering among university students plays a key role in shaping the future of society. This study uses a focus group method with students to analyse how involvement in volunteering activities enhances individuals’ competencies and contributes to sustainable development. The analytical section provides the reader with data on student volunteers’ personal and career development, their social interactions and networking, social responsibility and sustainability, and global thinking. The authors also discuss the role of the university in student volunteering. Volunteering effectively promotes social responsibility and sustainability, fostering students to become advocates for sustainable social change and active participants in community decision-making.
