The Paradox of Invisible Contributions
Across communities in the Global South and worldwide, people dedicate their time, skills, and energy to help others—often without expecting recognition or reward.

What’s changing in the Conditions of Service—and Why?
The response is not cosmetic. On 1 April 2026, UNV updates its offer with 39 redesigned volunteer solutions. The new offer is designed to address the complex, urgent, and varied challenges facing the world today. It provides UN entities with increased flexibility and creates more inclusive opportunities for UN Volunteers to get involved.  Who can volunteer—and howAt the heart of the Conditions of Service is a simple principle: experience matters most.
