This is a case study which is attempted to reveal the meaning and effects on the education service for professional competency of the lifelong educator. I surveyed 3cases of education service program that were offered in regional campus of KNOU,interviewed volunteers on the processes and feelings of their voluntary activities and analysed results of their voluntary activities in the perspective of competency development of lifelong educator. The result of the study indicates that educational volunteers could get a sense of mission as lifelong educator and could learn many things as lifelong education programmer based on the need of residence and on the circumstances of their region. Therefore it is believed that education service was helpful and necessary experience for the professional competency development of lifelong educator. So I propose that education service program is offered as an obligational or optional courses for the practicum of lifelong education according to the circumstances of lifelong education institutions.
