Smith D. H.
Voluntary organizations have two main subtypes: voluntary agencies (VolAgs) and voluntary associations. This article deals with VolAgs, usually nonprofit service organizations with a paid staff, while a different article deals with voluntary associations. The article reviews VolAg history, incidence and prevalence, formation and life cycles, scope and types, goals and missions, governance and management, government relations, resource attraction, impact and outcomes, and research and usable knowledge.
