• Volunteering is giving, sharing, standing by others, supporting causes you care about and creating a better future for everyone.

• The International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development, more commonly referred to as International Volunteer Day, is an international observance mandated by the UN General Assembly in 1985.

• 29 % of UN Volunteers on-site were under the age of 29, and 51 % were women.

• 2021 Theme: Volunteer now for our common future.

• 70% of volunteer work does not involve any organization but happens informally between people in their communities.

• A key risk factor for depression is social isolation.

• Volunteering keeps you in regular contact with others and helps you develop a solid support system, which in turn protects you against stress and depression.

• Research shows that - compared with people who never volunteered - the odds of being “very happy” rose by 7% among those who volunteer monthly and by 12% among those who volunteer every 2-4 weeks.

• We aim to inspire people, whether they are decision makers or citizens of this world, to take action NOW for people and the planet.

• 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 (SDGs).

• When people are encouraged to get involved in solving problems, the solutions are more likely to be feasible and lasting. Volunteers engage communities and build a people-centric movement to help build a better and safer future for us all.

• For the generations of TOMORROW, we must take responsibility for the changes needed to build a better future NOW. Encouraging, recognizing and promoting volunteerism is an important part of creating a more equal and inclusive future for communities and worldwide.

• In the lead-up to #IVD2021, let us celebrate the contributions of the millions who #volunteernow.

• UN Volunteers, making a difference to the lives of many...
