Hello Volunteers

December 5th 2021 is the 35th International Volunteer Day for Social and Economic Development. The United Nations Volunteers Programme (UNV) coordinates International Volunteer Day on 5 December every year to recognize and promote the tireless work, not just of UN Volunteers, but of volunteers across the globe. Every day, volunteers dedicate time and effort to ensure the inclusion of those often left behind, drive climate action and advance the Sustainable Development Goals. The theme of this year is volunteer now for our common future. The following images creatively captured these volunteers who are engaging with community works.
