🏢 About the local organisation
International Volunteer Day is a chance for individual volunteers, communities, and organizations to promote their contributions to development at the local, national and international levels. By combining United Nations (UN) support with a grassroots mandate, International Volunteer Day is a unique opportunity for people and volunteer-involving organizations to work with government agencies, non-profit institutions, community groups, academia, and the private sector.
The International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly through resolution on 17 December 1985.
Every year, VIN celebrates International Volunteer Day with specific activities to make international and national volunteers involved. This day is celebrated to recognize each volunteer’s contributions through their work.
