Mission and objectivesThe United Nations Volunteers is the UN organization that supports sustainable human development globally through the promotion of volunteerism, including the mobilization of volunteers. It serves the causes of peace and development through enhancing opportunities for participation by all peoples. It is universal, inclusive and embraces volunteer action in all its diversity. It values free will, commitment, engagement and solidarity, which are the foundations of volunteerism.
ContextThe United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide. We work with partners to integrate qualified, highly motivated and well supported UN Volunteers into development programming and promote the value and global recognition of volunteerism. The UNV-CYVA Full-Funding Partnership (UNV-CYVA Chinese Youth Volunteer Overseas Volunteering Programme) is jointly organized and implemented by the Chinese Young Volunteers Association (CYVA), the United Nations Volunteers (UNV), and the China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges (CICETE). Since its implementation, the partnership has deployed more than 180 Chinese UN Volunteers to serve at UN agencies in 40 countries and regions. With the launch of the new 2025-2026 cohort, the Project Management Office is seeking the support of Online Volunteers in arranging and scheduling the activities and in promoting the Sustainable Development Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals.
Task DescriptionTo facilitate the assignments training of the 5th batch of UNV-CYVA Full Funding Partnership (Chinese Youth Volunteer Overseas Volunteering Programme), we are looking for 5 Online Volunteers who will support our communications team with the development of an outreach/social media campaign. In close collaboration with the communications team, the Online Volunteers will: - Coordinate and finalize the schedule for all campaign activities, ensuring seamless alignment and timely communication with all stakeholders (under the supervision of communications team) to support the development of a comprehensive implementation plan. - Remotely support as a liaison between organizers and participants, facilitating efficient information flow and guaranteeing clarity on all operational details. - Support the procurement and preparation of essential resources, including promotional materials, participant accommodations, and logistical necessities, to ensure the successful execution of campaign activities. The Online Volunteer will be provided with material and other sources to develop the outreach/social media campaign as required and available. For close coordination and discussion, the Online Volunteer is expected to be available for calls via Zoom/Tencent meeting Teams.
