Background and objectives: Demographic transitions in Europe emphasize the need to develop innovative solutions for active ageing. The practice of volunteering has been recognized as crucial for the promotion of active aging, as well as health literacy through the acquisition of individual resources. The aim is to identify the existing scientific evidence on the impact of volunteering in promoting active aging. Methods: Scoping review according to the Methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute, following three steps of research: An initial search in CINHAL® and MEDLINE®; a broader search, using the same Keywords and search terms, in the CINAHL®, MEDLINE® databases and in the Google Scholar tool, and finally, a search in the bibliographical references of the selected articles. The defined time period was between 2017 and 2022. Results: The state of retirement implies new commitments and redefinition of social roles (Kleiner, A., et al., 2022; Matthews, K. and Nazroo, J., 2020). Volunteering plays a crucial role in the social inclusion and active participation of older people in society (Papa, R., Cutuli, G., Principi, A. and Scherer, S., 2019) and in promoting active aging (Stathi, A., et al., 2021; Papa, R., Cutuli, G., Principi, A. and Scherer, S., 2019). Higher levels of health literacy promote active aging, as well as lead to the acquisition of other resources (Eronen, J., et al., 2021), such as volunteering. Discussion and Conclusions: Health literacy and volunteering proved to be strategies that can be directly related and that contribute to the promotion of active aging. Health professionals, such as nurses, have a privileged role in promoting Health Literacy, which is why it is extremely important to join forces in their training (DGS, 2019).
