This paper explores the concept of social entrepreneurship through volunteering, with the aim of understanding how entrepreneurial strategies can be applied to solve social problems through volunteer engagement. The subject of the paper includes an analysis of the historical development of social entrepreneurship, its definition, and differences in relation to traditional entrepreneurship. Special emphasis is placed on the role of volunteering as a key factor in the creation and support of social entrepreneurship initiatives. The paper uses methods of analysis of relevant literature, comparative studies and examples from practice in order to identify the success factors of social entrepreneurs who use volunteer resources. Different models of social entrepreneurship and the ways in which volunteers can contribute to their sustainability and growth are analyzed. The conclusions of the paper show that volunteering not only supports social entrepreneurship, but also acts as a catalyst for innovation and the development of sustainable solutions that respond to the specific needs of communities. Volunteers bring creativity, energy and expertise, which allows social enterprises to solve the challenges they face, especially in the context of limited financial resources.
