United Nations Volunteers (UNV) is a program that promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. Established in 1970, it mobilizes volunteers to work on various projects, addressing issues like poverty, education, and health. UNV collaborates with different organizations, including United Nations agencies, to enhance community resilience and empower local populations.
Volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and can serve in their home countries or abroad. They contribute their skills and expertise to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNV emphasizes the importance of volunteerism in fostering social cohesion and building inclusive societies.
