The article analyzes a possibility of creative education of civil society volunteers under a critical situation (hereafter the CS), especially in the transition period toward the Fourth scientific and technological revolution (hereafter？the STR-4). Drawing on Russian and foreign literature, the author’slong-term studies of environmental and other social movements in Russia and abroad, the author came to the following conclusions. First, the STR-4 opens new opportunity for the volunteers but at the same time the probability of risk emergence is growing. The world as a whole is entering in the epoch of hybrid phenomena in which？“normal” and the “critical” situations are merging. Therefore, the creative education is much wider and more diversified than the “classical” one.？The creative education is a permanent process of adapting human activity and its institutions to multisided development of？risky？environment, be it natural, social or technologically constructed. In the run of the CS,？the time of risks transformation and their metabolic outcomes are becoming the key factors of the？creative education.？Therefore, the secondary and higher education have to outstrip the current local-global processes？of environmental transformations？i.e. the process of education should be based on the complex socio-bio-technical prognostics.
