International Volunteer Day
December 12
International Volunteer Day, celebrated every December 5, is a United Nations–mandated observance that recognizes the power of volunteerism in advancing peace and sustainable development. It provides an opportunity for volunteers and organizations worldwide to showcase their contributions to communities, promote civic engagement, and inspire others to act for the common good.
At VADO, we join the global community in celebrating volunteers whose dedication strengthens public, private, nonprofit, and community service systems — building a more inclusive and resilient society for all.
