Everyone has a skill and knowledge that they can use to make the world a better place. Together, their time and work can have a big effect on peace and change. This is the idea behind the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) program, which helps people do volunteer work around the world. The program was created in December 1970 and made it possible for people from different countries and cultures to put their ideas to work.

The UNV helps volunteers around the world who want to make a difference in small and large ways. In 2012, for example, the UNV worked with over 6,800 volunteers from 159 countries and over 11,000 online volunteers. It also recognizes the changing environment of volunteerism. The 2015 theme, “Time for Global Action for People and Planet,” reminds us that the world is even more connected than it was in the past. The theme also points to the fact that projects can last longer and include more kinds of people than in the past.
