A Call to Action for the Future of Volunteering
Created: 30/05/2025
News/Events Category: Consultations
This item will show under the following categories: Volunteering
In December 2023, the UN General Assembly declared 2026 the International Year for Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026) to highlight the role of volunteers in advancing sustainability.
A key message for IVY 2026 is that volunteers can significantly contribute to sustainable development, but only if provided with an enabling environment. As a result, the scoping group has crystallised around a Call to Action that engages all actors in the volunteering ecosystem to help create and maintain this environment.
Who should take the survey?
Their goal is to hear from volunteers, volunteer-involving organisations, governments, corporations, philanthropic foundations, and others on what changes they feel are needed to bring about a transformative shift in the impact of volunteering on sustainable development. These will then be captured in a focused, action-oriented Call to Action which governments, VIOs, corporations and others will be asked to endorse and implement.
Challenge Paper
As a first step, they commissioned a Challenge Paper to surface and explore topics to be addressed in the Call to Action.
