Study On The Model Of 'Social Workers+Volunteers' In Community Service Of Shenzhen

Community, as the basic carrier of urban administration and functions, has played an important role for the Party and the government to maintain close ties with the people and serve them. With the strenthening of social development and the increasing demand for community service, the study on patterns of community service is of great significance for the building of a service-oriented government. Shenzhen began to introduce the service pattern of "social workers+volunteers" in an all round way in2007, which integrates the resources of social workers and volunteers, but the pattern is still a novelty in China and could not play a full and active role in community service due to inadequate cooperation between social workers and volunteers. The thesis compares and analyses inadequacies of traditional community service characterized by disconnection between volunteers and social workers. Then it analyses in detail the operation pattern of a cooperation mechanism and its feasibility in community service by taking the Comprehensive Juvenile Service Center at Huafu Streat as of Futian District an example. Relevant experiences and problems are discussed and countermeasures and suggestions are proposed by learning from experiences of Hong Kong and other foreign countries.The thesis combines theoretical analysis, comparative analysis and comprehensive analysis with case study.
