    With half of #India’s 🇮🇳 population under 30, many young people still lack access to reliable sexual & reproductive health information. This is how 35 Online Volunteers raised #SHRH awareness of @UNFPAIndia’s JustAsk! AI chatbot, reaching 3,000+ youth👇

    At #HLPF, @UNDP and UNV joined the @CicaSecretariat side event on volunteerism. #IVY2026 is about more than celebrating volunteers; it’s about strengthening the recognition, measurement, and integration of volunteerism into sustainable development efforts. #VolunteerYear
    Square graphic featuring a portrait of Haoliang Xu, Under-Secretary-General and Associate Administrator of UNDP, in the lower left corner. The centre shows a paper-style quote reading: “The International Volunteer Year 2026 is an opportunity not only to celebrate volunteers, but also to strengthen the policies and partnerships that enable volunteerism to thrive.” The International Volunteer Year 2026 logo appears in the top right, with a blue, pink and white illustrated background featuring abstract leaves and shapes.
    A panel discussion takes place in a UN conference room. Six speakers are seated behind microphones at a curved table with nameplates, while large screens above display a presentation on volunteerism in CICA Member States and the launch of an e-publication on best practices in volunteerism. Interpretation booths for Russian and Spanish are visible in the background, and delegates wear headsets as the discussion continues.

    Our @UNVolunteers across Europe and Central Asia are helping shape the future of crisis response. Working with @UNDP's SDG AI Lab, they are developing technology-based tools that empower communities to better prepare, recover and rebuild when crises strike. @ToilyKurbanov

    Every young person, no matter their background, deserves the chance to become #WorkLifeReady. The @UNICEF UNV Youth on the Move Programme helps young people on the move like Tin build skills & access opportunities often out of reach. #YouthSkillsDay🔗unv.org/news/unicef-un…
    A young UN Volunteer wearing a blue shirt smiles and raises his hands to greet three young children on a tree-lined path. The image features the UN Volunteers, UNICEF and Youth on the Move logos at the top. Overlaid text reads: “Skills give young people on the move the confidence to turn challenges into opportunities.” Below, the quote is attributed to Tin Tun Lwin, UN Volunteer, Disability Inclusion and Youth Participation Assistant with UNICEF Cambodia.

    “Education was the only thing that would remove me from the suffering.” Growing up in Kakuma refugee camp, education gave Mariam hope. But becoming a @UNICEF Youth on the Move UN Volunteer gave her the skills to be #WorkLifeReady. #YouthSkillsDay

    Seeing @UNDP’s @alexanderdecroo and @Refugees’ @BarhamSalih meet Afghan 🇦🇫 UN Volunteers firsthand shows the unique value national volunteers bring to the @UN. With deep local knowledge & trusted relationships, they open doors and connect the UN with the people it serves.

    Fatuma lived in Dadaab refugee camp for 17 years. Today, she helps youth access opportunities she once searched for. Too many people on the move still face barriers to opportunities. The @UNICEF UNV Youth on the Move Programme is helping to change that. #WorldYouthSkillsDay

    Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Through the @UNICEF UNV Youth on the Move Programme, young people on the move like Neera gain the skills and experience to shape their future and the future we all share. #WorldYouthSkillsDay
    A square graphic shows UN Volunteer Neera Abigail Carrizales Ramroop smiling and applauding during a group activity. She is wearing a blue UNICEF polo shirt with a camera around her neck, while two other young people in blue shirts are visible in the background. UN Volunteers, UNICEF and Youth on the Move logos appear at the top. Overlaid text reads: “If we do not invest in the skills and potential of young people on the move, who will?” The quote is attributed to Neera Abigail Carrizales Ramroop, UN Volunteer and Children on the Move Programme Assistant with UNICEF Trinidad and Tobago.
