Volunteering is giving, sharing, standing by others, supporting causes you care about and creating a better future for everyone. We aim to inspire people, whether they are decision makers or citizens of this world, to take action NOW for people and the planet.

‘Nominating’ another person to also "volunteer now for our common future", by tagging them with the hashtags #passiton, #volunteernow , #IVD2021. Example: “I volunteer to raise awareness about environmental sustainability/pant trees/do clean ups in my community. I #passiton to @UNVenture to also volunteer now for climate action.”
