Find ways to give #GlobalApplause to our volunteers on International Volunteer Day 2016.

The United Nations designated December 5 as International Volunteer Day since 1985.

This international observance day celebrates the power and potential of volunteerism. It is an opportunity for volunteers, and volunteer-involving organisations to raise awareness of, and gain recognition for, the contribution they make to their communities.

Together with other organisations such as UN Volunteers, we are orchestrating a round of #GlobalApplause to recognise all volunteers everywhere and the contribution they make.

Want to get involved?

It can be as easy getting the word out through your social media, email or website.

Here are some images you can use across any of these avenues:
