The\u00a0United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme\u00a0is mandated to support and promote IVD celebrations worldwide.<\/p>\n

Apart from mobilising thousands of volunteers every year, UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating for the recognition of volunteers and working with partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming.<\/p>\n

Every year, over 6,500 UN Volunteers serve with UN entities in some of the most challenging environments across the world, and 12,000 UN Online Volunteers complete over 20,000 assignments online through the\u00a0UNV Online Volunteering service.<\/p>\n

This year, International Volunteer Day (IVD) highlights volunteers contributing to inclusion, and Sustainable Development Goal 10, reducing inequality within and among countries.<\/p>\n
