The World For World Organization (WFWO) Volunteers program is inspired by the conviction that volunteerism is a powerful means of engaging people in tackling development challenges worldwide. Everyone can contribute their time, skills and knowledge through volunteer action and their combined efforts can be a significant force for achieving peace and development for Solidarity can make the difference.

The concept of volunteerism for solidarity and development on optimizing volunteerism’s impact on peace solidarity and development. Achieving this requires the cooperation and commitment of the public sector, civil society and the private sector with support from the United Nations system and the world community. Individual citizens also have an important role to play through volunteering to achieve our global commitments to contribute to the Millennium Development Goals.

Volunteerism for solidarity and development enhances the capacity of people to exercise choices to set and achieve their own development objectives, which can result in real improvements that benefit others as well as themselves. If development is to be effective and sustainable, the people affected by it must take ownership of, and give relevance to, its processes and drive them forward through civic engagement.

Every day, individuals are engaged in solidarity and development initiatives through volunteer actions both large and small in an effort to improve conditions for others and themselves. Volunteerism by many millions of people is critical to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other global development issues commitments.

Volunteerism strengthens - and is strengthened by - trust, solidarity and reciprocity among citizens, and it can transform the pace and nature of development and solidarity. Volunteerism is purposeful, creating opportunities for volunteers from over the world to participate in development. Through volunteerism, more people participate in development and solidarity, and at all levels of society, which empowers them and gives them a personal stake in their country’s future. In this context, volunteerism fosters secure and stable environments conducive to the peaceful resolution of conflict. WFWO strengthens the capacities of national partners, enabling local ownership of peace and development processes and encouraging recognition of volunteers and their cohesive engagement for peace-building for solidarity and development in developing countries.
