For the success of a festival, effective volunteer management is axiomatic. Given the dramatically increased size and quality of festivals and events in Korea over the past fifteen years, the importance of effective volunteer management has been overlooked among festival organizations in comparison to similar festivals in western countries. This paper provides a description and an assessment of the Hi Seoul Festival 2009 volunteer program based on an seven-step ideal process of an effective festival volunteer program with suggestions for the program development by reviewing organizational documents, and an interview with a staff member of the Hi Seoul Festival organization, and a survey pertinent to festival volunteers' motivation. This study shows college students are more interested in volunteering at festivals in Korea with the primary motivation of developing relationships and gaining work experience. It also suggests that the Hi Seoul Festival organization should fully appreciate the importance of an effective volunteer program and the position and work of a volunteer coordinator.

The disposition towards volunteer work and leadership traits are the basic qualities that should be possessed by teenagers who are to become next generation leaders. The 'Volunteer Work and Leadership' program was developed to attain this goal and all S high school students were subjected to this program. This program was comprised of four modules, and this dissertation is focused on the second module: 'Wisdom Leader'. This program, which was conducted for six hours on a daily basis, was carried out two times per day during the first semesters of 2006 and 2007 on freshmen students. The program was comprised of three conceptual frameworks-Education of the heart that improves your emotion which includes 'cultural performance', 'volunteer work leadership group performance' and 'spot strategy for stress management'. Education of the hand pursues knowledge, which includes 'special lecture of leadership' and 'leader research through movies', and Education of hand which students directly participate in workshops were also used. After studying the results of the program, it was found that the satisfaction level of the education was higher during the second session than the first session. Therefore the objective of this program to enhance the leadership qualities of students was attained Also, this dissertation was able to reaffirm the relationship between volunteer work and leadership. I hope that the leadership content can be used systematically for enhancing the educational effect of volunteer work.

This study examines Korea's international development volunteer program as a citizen diplomacy initiative. Informed by a cultural perspective of transmission and relational models of public diplomacy, I examine the ways in which volunteer training incorporates cultural-learning into its program. The study finds that volunteer training is largely based on an instrumentalist approach to culture that places emphasis on learning the "explicit" side of culture, such as Korean traditional dance, art, and food as a strategy to promote the country's national image. In contrast, much less covered in the training program is a relational approach to culture-learning that is guided by a reflexive understanding of the "implicit" side of culture, or the values and beliefs that guide the worldviews and behavior of both volunteers and host constituents. Whereas the value of the volunteer program as a citizen diplomacy initiative is in its potential to build relationships based on two-way engagement, its conception of culture is mostly guided by that of the transmission model of public diplomacy. Based on the findings, this study calls for an integrated approach to culture-learning in volunteer training program to move the citizen diplomacy initiative forward.

Korean Volunteer Fire Departments are the representative disaster-related civilian organizations which are based on "Firefighting Framework Act Article 37"and ordinance for complementing the lack of fire-fighting personnel and volunteer and they play a part as community safety keepers. They are operated by the National funding, but cannot be defined as the organization in governmental sources completely or pure volunteer organization in terms of its founding purpose and activities. In these special characteristics, some Volunteer Fire Departments play an important role in Civilian Volunteer Disaster Prevention by being managed effectively, but the others do not. There can be many cause-analyses about this difference. They aren't profit-making organizations and are groups which have no compulsion. So it is important that who the leader is, and what type of leadership he has. By solving this bias by considering these characteristics, in this study we make them perform the center role of community safety network through analyzing the existing status and problems of volunteer fire department education and customized training program reengineering to meet class-specific and regional level.

정신장애인의 임파워먼트를 위해서는 개인 내적인 변화와 더불어 사회적 인식의 변화가 필요하다. 자원봉사활동은 바로 자기실현과 자존감 증대와 같은 내적 변화와 더불어 정상화 및 가치 있는 사회적 역할 강화를 통해 참여자에 대한 사회적 인식 변화를 가져올 수 있는 기제로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정신장애인이 자원봉사 서비스의 제공자로서 지역사회에 참여하는 프로그램을 구조화하고, 이의 실천을 통해 임파워먼트 효과성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 첫째, 정신장애인 뿐 아니라 봉사활동의 장인 지역사회의 봉사 준비과정을 체계화하고, 둘째, 정신장애인들과 봉사활동을 함께 하는 일반인 협력자를 활용하는 것을 특징으로 하는 정신장애인 자원봉사프로그램을 개발하였다. 그리고 이 자원봉사 프로그램에는 시설거주 정신장애인 13명과 이들의 협력자인 사회복지전공 대학생 10명이 참석하였다. 프로그램 시행 결과 자원봉사활동에 참여한 실험집단의 정신장애인은 통제집단에 비해 자아이미지 측면에서 임파워먼트의 효과가 있었던 것으로 나타났으며, 일반시민으로서 프로그램에 같이 참여한 협력자들은 사전에 비해 사후에 정신장애인에 대한 태도 즉, 권위주의, 자비심, 사회생활제한, 그리고 지역정신보건 측면에서 모두 긍정적인 변화가 있었던 것으로 입증되었다. 이러한 결과는 그동안 봉사 대상자로 머물러온 정신장애인도 자신의 능력을 활용하여 봉사 제공자가 될 수 있다는 것을 보여주는 것일 뿐 아니라, 이러한 활동을 통해 자기 자신에 대한 인식과 일반인의 태도에도 긍정적 변화를 가져올 수 있음을 나타내는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 정신장애인 자원봉사 프로그램이 실천현장의 상황에 맞게 활용되어 정신장애인의 임파워먼트와 지역사회 통합에 기여할 수 있기를 기대해 본다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop and execute the village heath worker(VHW) training program which based on short term overseas medical volunteer and medical mission. Methods: Through case studies of previous VHW program and review articles about the state of medical volunteer and medical mission, we developed the VHW training program. Pilot test of the program was carried out in Tugeugarao city, Phillipines on July, 2008. The subject were 32 persons from 15 villages around Tuguegarao city. After training we surveyed regarding the satisfaction of training and the degree of getting knowledge and skills. Results: Through article review, we got the common subjects of previous VHW training program and the limitations of overseas medical volunteer and medical mission. We developed VHW training program aiming to community health promotion through community participation and community change. The main text was "Where There Is No Doctor" of Hesperian Foundation. The program executed through 1 day intensive lecture and practice. The satisfaction of the program was 8.95±1.70 on 10 point rating scale. Conclusions: We strongly expect VHW training program can be available as new model of short overseas medical volunteer as well as medical mission if we could systemize it with the confirming subject before training , management after training and continuous support through connection with the field.
