The Call to Action for the Future of Volunteering: Challenges to Insights

An in-depth exploration of the Call to Action for the Future of Volunteering (www.iave.org/calltoaction) and the global research and consultations that underpin it. This webinar unpacks the evidence gathered from nearly 14,000 volunteers and stakeholders across 164 countries, revealing what the global volunteering community is saying about the challenges, opportunities, and future direction of volunteering.

As we move toward the International Volunteer Year 2026 (IVY2026), this session highlights what these insights tell us about the current state of volunteering worldwide, and what must change to ensure volunteering is recognized, supported, and safeguarded.
