NEKOLOVÁ, Andrea
In the Czech Republic, there is no comprehensive system that would prepare young people living in children's homes for independent living. Therefore, children's homes are increasingly involved in volunteer programs, with volunteers or patrons providing young adults with a certain pattern of behavior based on a friendly relationship, passing on their experiences to them and supporting them in entering everyday life. The aim of the diploma thesis is to identify the role of a volunteer in the integration of a child leaving a children's home into society. The specifics of cooperation of children's homes with volunteer programs supporting the social inclusion of the child are investigated. The qualitative type of research and the technique of semi-structured interviews were used to carry out the research part. The results of the interviews were processed in the form of open coding and data categorization. Based on the results of interviews with social workers and volunteers who work with young adults from children's homes, volunteers are important actors in the social inclusion of young people leaving children's homes. The results of the diploma thesis research could be beneficial for children's homes that are considering participating in one of the volunteer projects.
