#Volunteers aren’t just helpers. They're an overlooked cure for today's #healthcrisis – tackling #loneliness, suicide prevention, and more. Read more about it in IAVE's new publication "Communities of Practice: Good #HealthandWellBeing" - bit.ly/cofpheal

Volunteering is not optional. It’s essential for prosperity + peace. That’s why we’re shaping a global Call to Action to be launch on #IVD2025 at the UN HQ. Join the global launch: www.iave.org/ivy2026/launch #FutureOfVolunteering

Almost 2 years ago, the UN declared 2026 the International Year of Volunteers. Today, 10,000+ voices later, we’re building a global Call to Action. What's next? Become a member to review initial insights and provide feedback on the emerging Call to Action before the final draft. #IVY2026

#Volunteering is more than giving time—it’s a lifeline for connection. In IAVE’s new webinar, experts share how it helps fight #loneliness & support #mentalhealth.
