To the point, the Culture Volunteers movement is being implemented within the framework of the Creative People regional project of the Culture national project. Today, 566 volunteers in the field of culture are officially registered in Tatarstan. In fact, there are much more of them, says Gulfiya Mutugullina, curator of the All-Russian Public Movement "Culture Volunteers in Tatarstan". According to her, the registration of Tatarstan citizens on DOBRO.RU will greatly facilitate the work of both the coordinators of the movement and the volunteers themselves. So, with the help of this platform, everyone can find a useful thing to their liking, and the organizers of volunteer activities can notify volunteers about their project and invite them to take part in it. In addition, the DOBRO.RU project, which unites over a million volunteers and thousands of organizations, is a complete system of useful services for volunteers. For example, "Personal e-books of volunteers" accumulates data on the activity of a volunteer and shares them with other systems, such as the portal of State services and databases of vacancies. The volunteer experience taken into account in this book can be an advantage in employment, admission to a university or during a competition for participation in large-scale volunteer events. Service "Dobro. Contests" ‒ - a constructor for grant competitions, including the "Volunteer of Russia" competition. And these are not all the opportunities that the DOBRO.RU platform opens up for volunteers.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to become part of a team of major cultural events and get acquainted with the richest cultural heritage of their people, look behind the scenes and meet interesting people.
