As an expanding social phenomenon, volunteering has been recognized for its potential for developing citizenship by providing opportunities for participation and social innovation, supporting public and private actions aimed at collective well-being. This study aims to analyze the relationship between volunteering and citizenship through motivations, as they help to understand what drives human behavior toward a direction. Through quantitative research, descriptive statistical techniques were used to differentiate citizen behavior from volunteers and non-volunteers, as well as structural equation modeling to relate research constructs. The results indicate an overlap of citizen behavior of volunteers over non-volunteers, as well as a positive relationship between the motivation model and attitudes towards social, political and civil rights, contributing to the understanding of these fundamental constructs for the Third Sector.
