Volunteering for Sustainability

IAVE is delighted to announce the launch of our second Ideathon in collaboration with the Emirates Foundation, 4–6 March 2024!

This three-day virtual event, sponsored by GM, will focus on the impact volunteers can make on the environment.

Each day, volunteer teams from major NGOs and volunteering organizations around the world will propose their solution to a new environmental challenge. The teams compete to win three $25,000 prizes to implement their ideas in their communities.

Eligible organizations include global, MENA region, and national volunteer organizations; IAVE-affiliated and prominent volunteering leadership organizations; and NGOs or other third-sector organizations with a volunteering mandate.

To learn more and register your team, go to volunteers.ae/ideathon23. The deadline is 10 p.m. GST on 29 January 2024! Questions? Email [email protected].
