The relevance of the problem under study is due to the need to include volunteer activities in the structure of professional training of future teachers, contributing to the formation of significant sociocultural values. The importance of including this component in the educational process of higher school is emphasized in the Concept for the development of volunteering in the Russian Federation, in the letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated September 11, 2020 "On the inclusion of educational modules in the main professional and additional professional educational programs": Sample program of the discipline (module) "Organization of volunteer activities and interaction with socially oriented non-commercial organizations." The purpose of the study is to determine the components and mechanisms of the formation of social and cultural values among future teachers through volunteer activities. The authors present the leading theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of social and cultural values (axiological, systemic activity-oriented, personality-oriented, competence-based approaches) and key vectors and components that make it possible to determine the level of their formation in future teachers. The competence-based approach is noted as basic one in terms of both the formation of empirical skills and the development of sociocultural components. This approach is of particular relevance in line with the introduction of a new generation of federal state standards of higher education, providing for the inclusion in the educational component of disciplines that allow the formation of personal socio-cultural values of future teachers. In addition, the article defines the leading research methods of the problem, which make it possible to assess the motivational, cognitive and reflexive components, as well as to identify the ratio of components, criteria and indicators of the formation of sociocultural values. The practical significance of the research lies in the determination of the main mechanisms of the formation of socio-cultural values among future teachers. The main mechanism is the inclusion of students in volunteer teams.
