The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) exists to promote, strengthen and celebrate volunteering in all of the myriad ways it happens throughout the world. With members in 70+ countries, we are the connective tissue of a global network of leaders of volunteering, NGOs, businesses and volunteer centers that share a belief in the power of volunteers to make a significant strategic contribution to resolving the world's most pressing problems. Our Core Functions:- Advocacy: We use key global, national, regional and, where appropriate, local forums, institutions and communication channels to advocate for recognition and advancement of volunteers and volunteering and on issues of critical importance.- Knowledge development and dissemination: we foster the development of new knowledge about volunteering through research and organized learning activities and actively share that knowledge.- Network development and mobilization: We create and sustain networks of like-minded stakeholders and members in order to strengthen our shared capacity to pursue our mission. Examples include, but are not limited to, our Global Corporate Volunteer Council (GCVC) and our Global Network of National Volunteer Centers.- Convening: We bring together, in person and online, leaders in volunteering to discuss, debate and deepen our shared understanding of volunteering and its potential as a global force for good. Examples include, but are not limited to, world and regional conferences, in-person meetings of our networks and webinars.
