Service Starts with Ordinary People Showing Up
Global Volunteer Month is a month-long invitation to recognize volunteers that turn good intentions into meaningful action. It honors the people already giving their time, talent, and voice, while encouraging others to step in and support the causes and communities they care about most.
When more people choose to serve, communities grow stronger. Volunteering helps meet immediate needs, deepen relationships, and create momentum that can extend far beyond a single project or event.
April is Global Volunteer Month
April gives communities, nonprofits, schools, and companies a shared moment to make service more visible. It is a chance to celebrate the volunteers who keep communities going, invite new people into service, and show that everyday actions can build belonging, resilience, and lasting civic participation.
Ways to take part all month long
- Volunteer with a local organization
- Start or join a service project
- Encourage your workplace, school, or community group to participate
- Recognize someone whose service is making a difference
- Share your experience to inspire others to take action
