Volunteer For Change
V-Awards, an initiative by the UN Volunteers India, aims to celebrate young people, who are making the world a better place for all, through their acts of volunteerism, every day and everywhere.
The V-Awards will recognise extraordinary young people, who are changing their lives and of the communities around them.
V-Awards are especially relevant in India because we have the world’s largest youth population. Harnessing this resource will unleash unprecedented gains for India. Through these awards, we want to recognise the efforts made by young people and encourage others to do more.
