A Look Back — The History of International Volunteer Day

International Volunteer Day (IVD) was established in 1985 by the United Nations as a global observance to recognize the contributions of volunteers worldwide. It has since grown into a worldwide movement celebrated in over 80 countries, highlighting the impact of local action on global challenges — from poverty to education, sustainability to inclusion. Today, IVD stands for action, gratitude, and unity.
