Abstract
Adult education is a practice in which adults engage in systematic and sustained self educating activities in order to gain new forms of knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values. It can mean any form of learning adults engage in beyond traditional schooling, encompassing basic literacy to personal fulfillment as a lifelong learner. The learning happens in many ways and in many contexts just as all adults' lives differ. Adult learning can be in any of the three contexts, i.e. formal structured learning that typically takes place in an education or training institution, usually with a set curriculum and carries credentials. Non-formal learning that is organized by educational institutions but non credential. Informal education, learning that goes on all the time, resulting from daily life activities related to work, family, community or leisure. Volunteering is the practice of people working on behalf of others or a particular cause without payment for their time and services. The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of volunteerism in adult education in rural areas of Pakistan. This study was undertaken by reviewing the literature in the field of volunteerism in adult education in rural areas of Pakistan. Data were collected from the internet, books and through interviews.
