The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide. We work with partners to integrate qualified, highly motivated and well supported UN Volunteers into development programming and promote the value and global recognition of volunteerism. UNV’s Online Volunteering service was launched in the year 2000 and allows organizations and volunteers to team up to address sustainable development challenges – anywhere in the world, from any device. Online volunteering is simple, universal – and most of all, effective. Since then it has enabled thousands of organizations worldwide to receive volunteer support over the Internet, and hundreds of thousands of Online Volunteers to utilize their skills, expertise and experience to support their efforts. UNV's Online Volunteering offers: - A global platform for organizations and Online Volunteers to connect - An easy-search database of Online Volunteer assignments - Access to online volunteering experiences, best practices and lessons learned - Tools to manage volunteers’ and organizations’ online collaboration - The possibility for volunteers and organizations to expand their networks - The advantage of the universal reach and impartiality of the United Nations

United Nations Volunteers (UNV) provides global citizens with an opportunity to volunteer across the three pillars of the United Nations system: development; peace and security; and human rights. In 2025, UNV put in place a record-breaking number of 17,169 UN Volunteers, marking a 17 per cent increase from 2024. That growth demonstrated the strength of UNV’s partnerships across the UN system worldwide and the essential role of UN Volunteers in diverse field-related and technical roles. Despite the global development and humanitarian challenges, UNV remained steadfast and delivered. UNV – in collaboration with its UN partners, Member States and civil society – is continually evolving to craft effective twenty-first century volunteer solutions.
