How to Participate in International Volunteers Day 2023?
Participating in International Volunteers Day is an excellent way to recognize and support the efforts of volunteers in your community. Here are some ways to get involved:

• Volunteer Your Time: Consider volunteering for a cause or organization that aligns with your interests and skills. Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference.

• Thank a Volunteer: Take the time to express gratitude to volunteers you know personally or within your community. A simple “thank you” can go a long way in acknowledging their efforts.

• Donate to Volunteer Organizations: Financial contributions to volunteer organizations can help support their programs and initiatives. Even a modest donation can have a positive impact.

History of International Volunteers Day

International Volunteers Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985 to recognize and celebrate the contributions of volunteers worldwide. It was first observed in 1986. The day also serves as an opportunity to highlight the importance of volunteerism in achieving sustainable development goals.

IVD celebrates the spirit of volunteerism and the power of individuals to create positive change in their communities and the world.
