On the occasion of the approaching World Youth Day - United Nations Volunteers announce his new activity.

United Nations Program for volunteers.

Dear all,

On the occasion of the approaching International Youth Day – IYD - UNV would like to tell you about a new and exciting " Success story of Volunteers" documenting we are launching across the Arab Youth Volunteering for a Better F uture - AYV4BF-.

UNV members - just like you - are actively working towards social change and achieving incredible results. We are looking to collect member stories to learn about your inspirations and goals, as well as the role of Volunteering has played in supporting you to reach success. We are extremely inspired by the many approaches young people are taking to making the world a better place and we want to recognize YOU!
How can you participate? It’s very simple - all you have to do is send your member story to Mr. Mustafa Al-Sufi – the National Youth Development Specialist- mustafa.al-sufi@undp.org before Thursday, July 25 at 6 PM Sana'a Time, and over the next few days, we will choose a Success story of Volunteers to take the spotlight!

We also want to tell you this year UNV HQ in Bonn are inviting young volunteers to email their photos, videos, songs, stories, illustrations, or any other items which they feel show the positive impact that youth volunteerism brings to humanity. Following their example, and to support their initiative, I would like to suggest that each organization provide a “volunteer story”, accompanied with a photo, video or other graphic material, of a young volunteer or youth-led organization that is creating an impact on volunteerism and development in the country. You can draw from your own acquaintances, from partner organizations who work with young volunteers, other UN volunteers etc.

As well as sending them to UNV HQ for IYD, these success stories are a key part of the awareness-raising campaign, and will be published on our social media, website and newsletter, amongst others


We look forward to reading your story!
