The coin commemorates volunteerism in Ukraine, which grew to unprecedented proportions during the Revolution of Dignity and the start of the military conflict in eastern Ukraine. Volunteerism united Ukrainian society by successfully creating an efficient network of non-government initiatives and unions that dealt with the country`s most urgent and pressing issues. Volunteerism manifests a remarkable ability to unite, social responsibility, humanism and service to people.
