Virtual Volunteerism
Be a #LocalLight in your own community and recognize the impact of volunteers during Global Volunteer Month.
Together, we are a force that transforms the world
Global Volunteer Month was initially conceived to recognize the thousands of people around the world who serve as points of light in their own communities. In light of COVID-19, the need to recognize, inspire and activate volunteers is greater than ever. Society’s most vulnerable populations need support and will continue to need support in the weeks and months ahead.
