Data was collected using “The Volunteer Functions Inventory” instrument. Data presented in descriptive and then used the unpaired t-test for analysis. The result is most of them (97.1%) of respondents had high motivation and the rest of them (2.9%) had moderate motivation. The factor of motivation that affect volunteers as following: understanding, career development, self-enrichment, personal value, self-protection and social factors.
