The International Year of Volunteers

In November 1997, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2001 as the International Year of Volunteers. With its main objectives of increased recognition, facilitation, networking and promotion of volunteering, the International Year of Volunteers 2001 (IYV) provides a unique opportunity to highlight the achievements of the millions of volunteers worldwide and to encourage more people globally to engage in volunteer activity.
