SUMMARY:International Volunteer Day
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nThe International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development (5 December), more commonly referred to as International Volunteer Day (IVD), is an international observance mandated by the UN General Assembly in 1985.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy is International Volunteer Day important\n\n\nVolunteerism is one of the most vital delivery mechanisms for social, environmental, and economic transformation, ensuring a lasting impact with its ability to change people’s mindsets, attitudes, and behaviours. People become actors of change and equal partners in the attainment of local, national, and international progress towards sustainable human development and global peace. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nHow to observe International Volunteer Day\nToday offers an opportunity for volunteer-involving organizations and individual volunteers to promote volunteerism, encourage governments to support volunteer efforts and recognize volunteer contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at local, national, and international levels. International Volunteer Day celebrates active volunteers and attracts new volunteers.\n____________________________________________________\nTip:\n\nThrough the years, International Volunteer Day has been used strategically: many countries have focused on volunteer contributions to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, a set of time-bound targets to combat poverty, hunger, disease, health, environmental degradation and gender equality.\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n____________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nResources\n     Past Observances:\n\nInternational Volunteer Day 2018: Volunteers build Resilient Communities\nInternational Volunteer Day 2017: Volunteers act first\nInternational Volunteer Day 2016: #GlobalApplause\nInternational Volunteer Day 2015: The world is changing.
