The value orientations of the individual determine its relationship with the outside world, regulate social behavior (motives and interests) and form the individual "meaning of life". The article was written based on the results of a sociological survey of participants in the volunteer inclusive movement in the Sverdlovsk region (n=228). The leading value orientation of inclusion volunteers is a focus on self-knowledge, which reflects the specifics of the age composition, since participants in inclusive volunteering, as a rule, are young students aged 14 to 20 years. Inclusive volunteering is a means to self-knowledge and understanding of the place and role in the system of both interpersonal and social relations. Introduction to the culture of inclusion is an important factor in cultivating a tolerant attitude towards oneself and towards others, including those who are different, who have certain “deviations” or “violations” in the physical, mental, mental plane. For participants in the volunteer inclusive movement, the question of how volunteering corresponds to the goals of their personal self-knowledge, the development of ideas about the value of their own "I" in the key of humanizing social relations is of fundamental importance. This orientation reflects the study of one's own intellectual characteristics and capabilities, understanding the ability to make a conscious choice, build one's life path, and coordinate individual behavior in the system of social relations with people around.
