This investigation aims to explore the extent to which role models are able to influence perceptions of people with functional diversity on inclusive volunteering. Specifically, based on a quantitative methodology, the study aims to understand the current practices and positioning of people with functional diversity towards volunteering, the benefits and barriers they perceive to inclusive volunteering.
Primary data was collected through a questionnaire targeting people with functional diversity in Portugal. The results show that the participation of people with functional diversity in volunteering activities is low, although there is a high interest to get involved in the future. Volunteering opportunities are mainly created through the volunteer's own initiative. People with functional diversity recognize several benefits associated with volunteering, as well as a number of barriers, with a focus on the lack of opportunities. The presence of peer role models has been found to influence the predisposition to inclusive volunteering, but not the perceived benefits and barriers experienced by people with functional diversity.
