That's why EAFIT University should support more these groups in order to give them the importance they really have in order to contribute to that social progress as they affirm in their vision statement. Also as they are backing them, the university should lead a campaign were EAFIT encourege other universities from Medellin to raise awarness about participating in volunteering in their unviersities, so Higher Education volunteering could be more practiced, more known, where they could awake people's desire to help, and finally create that volunteering environment which Medellin is lacking nowdays.

However, in the case study the results show that people from engenieering are more likely to develop that social commitment than for example from social science which normally in other studies is the major that more contribute to the participation in these groups. The reason engenieering is so into this activism is that they consider is a way to get out of all the maths and exact sciences and getting more into relationships and persons that is something uncommon in their programs.

It compare the views of the volunteering programs that EAFIT University offers, such as the definition of volunteering, the purposes that volunteering has, benefits and rewards, the amount of students that make part of the grous, the organizational structure and socio- demographic factors as age, gender and program attended in the university.

Nine volunteering groups were interviewed, where one person from each group attended the questionnaire, making sure that they played a leader roll in the group they made part of in order to gather more accurate information about each activity.
volunteer's benefits

different from expected, the students from the business degree are the most engaged to volunteering, what shows an especial interest in others welfare and learning and not about seeking economic wealth.

Taking these findings and conclusions, we suggest that volunteering should be studied deeply in order to have more sources and knowledgement specially about volunteering in higher education, this theme is been forgotten and the education sector is been so careless with it that there are not enough literature review available to investigate about this matter here in Medellín and Colombia.
Although our study was only made in one university, it gives detailed information about how is volunteering working in EAFIT University, but further studies should cover other universities of the city and of the country in order to compare them and have a vast information to see maybe if aspects as culture, religion or income factors affects in the contribution of Higher Education Institutions to their communities.

According to the leaders of the volunteering groups interviewed, the biggest benefits that society receive from volunteering are the information, given events and conferences and finally the training, all of them with a 10% of votes. And then words as entertainmente, distraction, leadership training, trained professionals, learning, knowledgement network, enterprises visitis, guida and consltants were named in order to associate thos benefits to society.
