Their stories serve to inspire others to take action and discover their collective power to unite in making a difference. National Volunteer Week is a time to celebrate the impact of volunteer service on our communities. The local events and social media conversations that take place during this week demonstrate that service unites – bringing people together to tackle tough challenges, create change, and build stronger, more vibrant communities. National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to shine a light on the people and causes that inspire us to serve. Volunteerism empowers individuals to find their purpose, to take their passion and turn it into meaningful change. National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 and has grown exponentially each year, with thousands of volunteer projects and special events scheduled throughout the week. This signature week is about honoring the impact of change makers in our communities, and inspiring others to serve.
