About US ⇒
The United Nations Volunteers UNV programme is the UN organization that
promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. Volunteerism
can transform the pace and nature of development and it benefits both society
at large and the individual volunteer. UNV contributes to peace and
development by advocating for volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to
integrate volunteerism into development programming, and mobilizing
volunteers. In most cultures volunteerism is deeply embedded in long-
established, ancient traditions of sharing and support within the communities.
In this context, UN Volunteers take part in various forms of volunteerism and
play a role in development and peace together with co-workers, host agencies
and local communities. In all assignments, UN Volunteers promote volunteerism
through their action and conduct. Engaging in volunteer activity can
effectively and positively enrich their understanding of local and social
realities, as well as create a bridge between themselves and the people in
their host community. This will make the time they spend as UN Volunteers even
more rewarding and productive.
