Share your story and inspire others!
From grassroots communities, health centers, to coastal
clean-ups, beach camps and classroom classes, your
volunteer stories will be meaningful enough to inspire
someone out there!
One of the greatest gifts we can give to others is our
reflection of the volunteer work that we have done or we
are doing. It does not only help spread the joys of
volunteering, it also serves as examples that many people
can learn from. One personal story can touch so many
lives – and that could be your story!
The IAVE Youth Office in Catalonia (IYOC) invites you to
share your volunteer experiences on our website! We want
to come up with a “Successful Volunteer Experience Bank”
that can aid/help youth from all over the world, in different l
evels of youth volunteering (local, national and international).
From this “experience bank,” 2 stories will be featured on
our website each month! Your success stories will give
visibility and value to the strengths of volunteering.
We believe that every volunteer´s achievement will further
promote volunteering in its varius aspects, impact
stakeholders in the personal and social levels, and
encourage more action and involvement among young
people. Moreover, it is a venue to connect more and
more youth all over the world, and facilitate the creation of
a wider network of young volunteers for social transformation.
We are all part of this, and we are sure that we all have
our own success stories to tell!
Below is a guide on how to prepare/submit your stories f
or the “Successful Volunteer Experience Bank.” Remember,
the more interactive, the better!
