WHAT IS IT?
If you want are to take concrete action for global peace and development and want to volunteer abroad, take a look at the United Nations Volunteer (UNV) program. Every year, up to 8,000 qualified and experienced volunteers spend at least six months of their lives helping others. These UN Volunteers work in some 130 countries promoting peace, responding to disasters, empowering communities, and helping to build sustainable livelihoods and lasting development.
UN Volunteers come from dozens of professional backgrounds but all of them are catalysts of positive change.
Being a UN Volunteer is not a career (you are currently limited to four years of service), but it is rich with opportunities and experience and offers huge personal rewards.
There are new programs added all the time, so be sure to check the official site frequently.
