This study was conducted to examine the effect of volunteering in sport organisations on future anxiety levels of the students of the Faculty of Sport Sciences. The study group consisted of 318 sports volunteers who volunteered in Vodafone 46th Istanbul Marathon, Türkiye İş Bankası 19th Istanbul Half Marathon, Goldenhorn Rowing Cup and Tour of Istanbul organisations in Istanbul. Personal information form, volunteer motivation scale for international sport organisations and future anxiety scale in university students were used in the study data. The scale of volunteer motivations for sport organisations was developed by Bang et al. (2009) to examine the motivational factors of volunteers working in international sport organisations. The scale of future anxiety in university students developed in Geylani and Ciriş Yıldız (2022) consists of 19 items in 5-point Likert type, which are collected under two sub-dimensions: fear of the future and hopelessness from the future. The data obtained were analysed using SPSS 25.0 package programme and the significance level was determined as 0.05. According to the findings obtained as a result of the study, the love of sport and fear of future scores of male volunteer students were statistically significantly higher than female students. In addition, it was concluded that students who participated in long-term volunteering activities had better social communication skills. As another result, it was concluded that the effect of volunteer motivation on university students' future anxiety was significant and positive.
