I know you have a tremendous international network of peace educators, NGOs, CBOs and other organisations, and I thought our Online Volunteering service could be very useful for many of them .

1. FOR INDIVIDUALS
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of development, and it benefits both society at large and the individual volunteer. UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating for volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming, and mobilizing volunteers.
For information on how to become an online volunteer please visit https://onlinevolunteering.org/en/vol/faq.html. The UNV Online Volunteering service connects volunteers and development organizations to collaborate online for peace and development. On this dedicated website, development organizations post their online volunteering opportunities. Interested individuals identify opportunities that match their interests, expertise, and skills, and submit their applications directly to the organizations, which select the volunteers they would like to engage in their activities.
Please contact info@onlinevolunteering.org for any questions you may have about online volunteering.
