The UN General Assembly has officially declared 2026 the International Year for Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026)—a once-in-a-generation chance to spotlight the power of volunteering to build a more just, resilient, and sustainable world.

To prepare, IAVE and global partners are leading a Global Survey to gather input from volunteers, organizations, governments, and other stakeholders. Your insights will help shape a Global Call to Action that identifies what needs to change—and who can help make it happen.
