This paper discusses the working agency of the third sector from a methodological approach supported in the Sociology of the Professions. We conducted a methodological overview of our object and field, passed to a resumption of the main theoretical influences suffered by the sociology of professions from the functionalist. We discussed one of the main dilemmas of contemporary sociology, the agency and structure, discussing how such seemingly abstract and theoretical implications are indispensable to the understanding of an empirical agency in the NGO world. Below is an overview of the perception of the people that work to the third sector, analyzing the voluntary sector and showing empirically some of the major limitations of applying the sociology of professions, when viewed from practical and flexible in changing reality cases.
