Call to Action for the Future of Volunteering – Global Dialogue

2026 has been declared the International Year for Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026) and now is the time to shape its legacy.

Join Volunteering Australia for an open dialogue as part of a global Call to Action led by the International Association of Volunteer Effort (IAVE). This is a powerful opportunity to focus attention on the potential of volunteering and increase the impact of volunteers and volunteer involving organisations around the world.

If you’re passionate about volunteering – whether you’re a volunteer, Leader of Volunteers, researcher, advocate, or another stakeholder in the volunteering ecosystem – we want to hear from you!

This 60-minute session will explore: what needs to change to better recognise and support volunteering, who has the power to make it happen, and what is Australia’s role.

Your insights will help shape the global agenda launching in December 2025 in the lead-up to IVY 2026. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your voice heard.
