Do you know…? This is International Volunteer Year!
|
|
|
International Volunteer Year 2026 celebrates the heart and power of volunteerism worldwide. Every act of service — big or small — strengthens communities, supports those in need, and moves us closer to a more sustainable future. Recognised by the United Nations, this global year shines a light on volunteers as changemakers who inspire action, connection, and hope.
To be part of this global movement, we invite you to take the 26-Hour Pledge. Commit to volunteering just 26 hours during 2026 — that’s a little over 2 hours a month. Volunteer regularly, from home on your own schedule, or at one-off events throughout the year. Take the pledge below and start making a lasting impact today.
