UN Volunteers are motivated to serve – to help society and drive equality. Many seek a social calling, to work with people, make connections and have new experiences in cultures and places outside of their own.

For others, it is purely instrumently as they look to build skills and understanding in the UN system. Foremost, they all want to engage in challenging and meaningful work activities and know the impact of their efforts.
