What does international volunteering actually look like on a global scale?
The newly published CCIVS Activity Report 2024-2025 gives a clear overview of how volunteering continues to shape communities, empower young people, and respond to global challenges.
As a global network supporting international voluntary service, CCIVS plays a key role in promoting peace, social justice, and sustainability. This report highlights the organisation’s work over the past two years, focusing on major initiatives in climate action, youth engagement, and the ongoing effort to decolonise the volunteering movement.
Beyond projects and programs, the report also presents real data, showing the scale of volunteer involvement worldwide and the reach of international cooperation. It offers insight into advocacy efforts, global campaigns, and partnerships with institutions such as UNESCO and the United Nations.
A strong emphasis is placed on the role of young people, not just as participants, but as active contributors shaping the future of volunteering. Trainings, events, and collaborative initiatives demonstrate how the sector continues to evolve in response to today’s challenges.
The report also looks ahead, outlining future directions and development priorities, while providing transparency into CCIVS’s internal work, communication efforts, and financial overview.
This publication offers a comprehensive snapshot of where international volunteering stands today and where it is heading next.
