Everyone Volunteer, Take Action Now!
12.5 International Volunteer Day
The 5th of December is the International Volunteer Day (IVD) proclaimed by the United Nations to promote volunteerism, and to encourage governments and organizations to pay tribute to volunteers in recognition of their contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Since 1992, AVS has been celebrating the IVD annually to show appreciation to volunteers, and to encourage more aspiring ones to adopt the volunteering way of life.
This year, Agency for Volunteer Service invited Hong Kong Famous Idol group – MIRROR, to support and cheer up volunteers through videos. We hope more people are inspired to unite the power of the community in building a caring and inclusive society.
