About US:
The United Nations
Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that promotes volunteerism to
support peace and development worldwide. Volunteerism can transform the pace
and nature of development and it benefits both society at large and the
individual volunteer. UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating
for volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to integrate volunteerism into
development programming, and mobilizing volunteers.In most cultures
volunteerism is deeply embedded in long-established, ancient traditions of
sharing and support within the communities. In this context, UN Volunteers take
part in various forms of volunteerism and play a role in development and peace
together with co-workers, host agencies and local communities. In all
assignments, UN Volunteers promote volunteerism through their action and
conduct. Engaging in volunteer activity can effectively and positively enrich
their understanding of local and social realities, as well as create a bridge
between themselves and the people in their host community. This will make the
time they spend as UN Volunteers even more rewarding and productive.
