Let’s join with all volunteers across the globe to recognise the power of volunteering. A huge thank you to all volunteers who make an impact in our communities across Aotearoa!
International Volunteer Day 2025 theme has been announced as “Every Contribution Matters.” This theme celebrates the power of collective action and acknowledges that every act of volunteering, big or small, contributes to a stronger and more connected world.
This year, 5 December marks an important moment. It is the official launch of International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY2026), a global initiative that highlights the crucial role of volunteering in achieving sustainable development.
N.B. The theme has been updated (from Solidarity through Volunteering previously announced).
