This paper aims to identify the voluntary motivations that lead people to volunteer at the House of the Child with Cancer. The empirical part of the article had as a locus the House of the Child with Cancer located in the municipality of João Pessoa/PB. The empirical data was collected based on the theoretical model of Cavalcante (2012), which identifies the motivations within voluntary work. Through this research it is possible to manage people in the third sector. The quantitative method of research was applied, including the use of 30 questionnaires with all volunteers working in the House of the Child with Cancer. Statistical measures were used for data analysis, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. The results showed that, in the following order, the major motivational variables of the research participants in the institution are related to: selflessness, learning and social justice. It is also observed that the selfish motivational variable was the least relevant for the volunteers in terms of voluntary motivation.
