50th Anniversary of

United Nations Volunteers

UNV50 is the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Volunteer (UNV), which marks its inception on 1970 December 7th in New York, by the UN General Assembly Resolution 2659.

To celebrate this golden anniversary, we will be commemorating important milestones in the volunteer journey on December 5th, the International Volunteer Day (IVD). We will also work with multiple stakeholders at the country level to recognize the importance of volunteering.
