    Volunteers are not “extra hands.” They are qualified people with skills, judgement, commitment, and responsibility. When roles are well designed, volunteers can support delivery, learning, coordination, community engagement, and institutional capacity.

    “I have always had the desire to serve others, especially those fleeing conflict and disaster. I wanted to use my skills to benefit my people, and @UNVolunteers has been the most appropriate framework to make this ambition a reality.” Ismael Ouedraogo @UNHCR_Burundi

    #Peacebuilding means: 🛑 Stopping conflict before it starts. 🛑 Giving a platform to everyone, everywhere, especially those who are often ignored. 🛑 Long-term solutions, not quick fixes. UN Volunteers build peace, step by step. #PeacebuildingWeek

    Decades ago, @UNVolunteers were already working with communities to bring people together, rebuild trust and help prevent conflict, just as they do today. As #PeacebuildingWeek continues, we’re bringing this one back from the archives 🇺🇳

    For those who have served as UN Volunteers, one question: What did the assignment teach you that no job description could fully capture? Was it patience, leadership, teamwork, field realities, or something else? Share your experience. It may help someone preparing to serve.

    What do @UNVolunteers do? They support many areas of work, including health, climate action, youth, data, communications, coordination, community engagement, and more. Their roles vary. Their commitment to serve keeps them connected.
