A check-in. A listening ear. A moment to rest. 💚

For #UNVolunteers, well-being matters as much as the work they do. This #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s look out for one another and make mental health part of the conversation.

More opportunities to volunteer, more ways to make a difference!

Expanding volunteer opportunities means connecting more people with the chance to turn their skills into impact.

Thank you, @ElsieAttafuah, for your continued support to @UNVolunteers!

[Elsie Attafuah @ElsieAttafuah]

Across Africa and globally, @unvolunteers bring skills, local knowledge and a spirit of service to the front lines of development, peace and humanitarian action. Their contribution strengthens institutions, connects communities and turns shared purpose into meaningful impact.

It was a pleasure to meet @PaulArmandMenye, Regional Manager for @UNV_ROWCA, and colleagues from UNV to discuss expanding volunteer opportunities with @un_nigeria and across the region to create stronger pathways for people to contribute their talents to development.

[UNV West & Central Africa @UNV_ROWCA]

Pour recueillir les savoirs d’une communauté, il faut d’abord gagner sa confiance.

À Ikobey, la Volontaire ONU avec @undpgabon Lauriana Ndombi prend le temps d’écouter les Peuples autochtones et les communautés locales pour documenter leurs connaissances de la nature.
