Volunteer activities in Indonesia are increasing, but the results and depth of studies related to volunteerism are still lacking. The NGO LPAN Griya Baca provides opportunities for volunteer participation and is a manifestation of community participation in supporting the success of education in Indonesia. This qualitative research aims to analyze the variety of volunteer involvement and describe the factors that encourage and inhibit volunteer participation in LPAN Griya Baca. The informants of this research include 8 volunteers, 1 chairman, 2 administrators, and 2 children assisted by the institution. The analysis technique is through the adaptation of the Miles, Huberman, & Saldana interactive model. The results showed that volunteer participation in LPAN Griya Baca is seen from decision-making activities that play an important role, in the implementation by contributing funds, goods, time, and energy, then taking benefits by expanding relationships and inner satisfaction. Meanwhile, evaluation is carried out by making decisions in a discussion. The driving factors of volunteer participation consist of opportunity, willingness, and ability. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include limited funds, weather conditions, and difficulties in managing time and children. This study has limitations on the depth of the scope of research. Suggestions for future researchers are to examine volunteer participation in one form of activity program objectives using the appropriate theory so that it can produce more in-depth data findings.
