Volunteering and Children

As part of the activities marking the Tenth Anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers (IYV+10), the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme organised the creation of a children’s book on volunteerism with the support of partners around the globe. For further information on this topic and to see this wonderful book, please go to http://www.iyvplus10.org/content/unv-world-volunteer-web/content/childrensbooknews.html

A compilation of children's illustrations and narratives, from 24 countries around the globe, depicting their personal take on volunteerism can viewed in a heart warming exhibition “Volunteering through Children’s Eyes”.
