IAVE’s 27th World Volunteer Conference is right around the corner!

PEOPLE POWER: CREATING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE THROUGH VOLUNTEERING

Together with hundreds of volunteer leaders from corporate, NGO, academic and government sectors around the world, we are taking on the theme People Power: Creating a Sustainable Future through Volunteering.

The UN has declared 2026 as the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development, and IAVE is showing why. Volunteers are a potent force for meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and driving positive change in any community.
