Help Shape the Future of Volunteering

Join IAVE in shaping the future of volunteering

The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) are thrilled to invite you to be a part of their global initiative to develop a Call to Action for the Future of Volunteering!  In preparation for the 2026 International Year for Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026), IAVE and their partner organisations are leading this effort to hear from volunteers, organisations, businesses, and policymakers about what changes are necessary to unlock the full potential of volunteering for sustainable development.

This is a pivotal moment to elevate the impact of volunteering on sustainable development and secure commitments from governments, organisations, and communities worldwide to create an enabling environment for volunteering to thrive.  Don’t miss this opportunity to have your voice be heard and to make a difference!

How can you get involved?

Starting mid-March, you can share your vision by completing the survey— quick and easy way to share your vision of the future of volunteering.  Additionally, you can participate in global, regional and national dialogues—both in-person and online—to delve deeper into discussions shaping the Call to Action.  By lending your voice, you will contribute to a comprehensive strategy aimed at creating an enabling environment for volunteers worldwide.
