List
of Numerous UN-recommended Volunteering Organizations
On its
website, the UN provides a link to another website designed for the volunteering
organizations to provide volunteers with countless opportunities.
We
checked several organizations on the list. We believe that some of them might
be related with commercial purposes. Some might find some of them unreliable.
As we
said earlier, majority of the organizations charge significant amounts although
they use the volunteer’s labor for a certain period.
But you
can still pick up the organization you wish to volunteer at from the huge list
on the website. There is the option to choose from a country-based list as well.
The
Website Notes
The World Volunteer Web is brought to you by the
United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme in partnership with the following
organizations:
- CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation
- Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)
- International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE)
- International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
(IFRC)
- Merrill Associates
- Millennium Campaign
- OneWorld.net
- Portal do Voluntário
The World Volunteer Web supports the volunteer
community by serving as a global clearinghouse for information and resources
linked to volunteerism that can be used for campaigning, advocacy and
networking. It is an online hub where the community can meet, share resources and
coordinate activities to mobilize volunteer action in support of the Millennium Development Goals.
With a constituency comprising of over 20,000
organizations and individuals, the World Volunteer Web helps to catalyze
partnerships among volunteer stakeholders from all continents.
This website is also the global focal point for International Volunteer Day (IVD), celebrated around the world every 5
December.
