Background:

The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide.

Volunteerism is a powerful means of engaging people in tackling development challenges, and it can transform the pace and nature of development.

Volunteerism benefits both society and volunteers at large and the individual volunteer by strengthening trust, solidarity, and reciprocity among citizens and by purposefully creating opportunities for participation.

UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating for the recognition of volunteers, working with partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming, and mobilizing an increasing number and diversity of volunteers, including experienced UN volunteers, throughout the world.

UNV embraces volunteerism as universal and inclusive and recognizes volunteerism in its diversity as well as the values that sustain it:
free will, commitment, engagement, and solidarity.

UNV engages over 12,400 UN Volunteers and 4,000 Online Volunteers annually.

With an average age of 35 years of UN Volunteers and the requisite professional skills and qualifications of some with 5 to 10 years of relevant experience.

The majority come from developing countries themselves. Half of the UN Volunteers served in their own countries, with the other half carrying out international assignments. The financial equivalent of programme activities exceeds US$ 235 million annually.

UNV is headquartered in Bonn, Germany and has approximately 120 staff positions - with a large presence in Bonn and some positions with different UN peacekeeping and political missions and in other Headquarters' locations (e.g., New York and Tokyo) and Regional Offices (Nairobi, Dakar, Bangkok, Panama, Istanbul, and Amman).
