Every day, millions of people around the world take action – big and small – to make life better for others and for their communities. Whether it’s mentoring youth, supporting local health efforts, or responding to emergencies, volunteers drive meaningful change in communities. Through their actions, volunteerism becomes a force for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals - connecting people, strengthening resilience, and creating lasting impact.
The International Volunteer Year 2026 invites you to celebrate and recognize the incredible contributions of volunteers everywhere. It’s a moment to raise awareness, spark conversations, and inspire even more people to get involved.
