Volunteers’ contributions are critical, yet the lack of data still fails to reflect that 📏
The State of the World’s Volunteerism Report 2026 will show how better data can inform policies, investments and community resilience.
#SWVR2026 is coming on 🗓️ 5/12/2025.
ALT coming soon: volunteerism and its measurment
