Volunteerism enables participation beyond political dialogue and translates into a stronger role for people’s engagement in their societies.
Young volunteers are both a major resource for development and key agents for social and economic transformation and technological innovation.
The volunteer sector can build on new opportunities like greater access to global markets, wider information and knowledge networks and new technologies and social media to generate and share knowledge, including reaching marginalized groups and remote communities.
