Abstract
The growth of aware citizenship and activeness in non-governmental organizations, is an unquestioned success of the recent political and economic evolution of Poland, also in national security and defense domains. In particular Polish youth is attracted most to those fields of citizen activity, and the growth of nongovernmental and paramilitary youth organizations is a clear evidence of that. Even the initial research results have proven that the activity of such non-government youth defense organizations as “Strzelec” or the Academic Legion brings positive results. It must be also mentioned that military classes in secondary schools and military training for academic students contribute to that. The experience gained from those programs is a significant component of the conception of voluntary military service for the National Reserve Forces, and the creation of the citizen-based form of defense system, parallel to the regular military service system. Such solutions are already implemented in among others Scandinavian countries, in which National Guard has the legal form of a non-governmental organization and works more as an association.
