Walk to School: International Volunteer Day Walkathon
Project Status
International Volunteer Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1983 and is now celebrated worldwide with thousands of volunteers involved in a range of activities and events including conferences, exhibitions, morning teas and many other activities and events all aimed to highlight the role of volunteers in their communities. Over the years, rallies, parades and advocacy campaigns have also featured prominently on this day. International Volunteer Day offers an opportunity for both volunteer organizations and individual volunteers to promote their contributions to development at local, national and international levels.
Following on from previous years’ International Volunteer Day celebrations, ROTA-EAA’s Volunteer Program proposes to celebrate volunteerism by hosting a fundraising Walk-A-Thon event. Volunteers will be encouraged to extend their commitment to the community by raising funds to support children in need.
