The study adopts the method of quota sample, according to the number of volunteer interpreters in the four areas of Society Wilderness in northern, southern, eastern and central Taiwan. A total of 1,140 surveys were sent out, and 397 of which were completed and returned. The percentage of valid surveys is 34.82%. The data was analyzed with statistical methods include : Descriptive statistics analysis, Factor analysis, Reliability analysis, Independent sample t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and Multiple regression analysis. The outcome shows that the majority of interpreters are in their thirties and forties, married, with children; their educational degree is up to university and postgraduate; most of them work at school and in hospitality industry; the years of being volunteers are below three years, and the days of serving are more than ten days in a year, mostly have the experience in other nonprofit organization. It is suggested that Society of Wilderness can invite more elderly volunteers, especially the retired teachers, to promote the quality of its volunteers. Organizational climate and commitment of volunteer interpreters in Society of Wilderness are above the average standard. The analysis found out females and high school duty education level both have better commitment to organization. In the process of the study, it has been discovered that organizational climate is closely-related to organizational commitment. The administrators should give volunteers enough room for self-exploration, create enjoyable atmosphere of corporation and helping each other to promote organizational commitment. It helps volunteers keep on staying here and contributing to the organization. “Warm support” and “self-reliance” have distinctly positive impact on working steadiness. “Warm support”, “clear system” and “association approval” have strong influence on diligence, value, commitment and identification. It is suggested, through electronic newspapers and various activities conducted by Wilderness, society can focus more on the main purpose of the institution constructed at the very beginning, emphasize the ideas of environmental protection and also publicize the achievement in order to strengthen the sense of belonging to society.
