Background information

UNV has the ability to make significant impact on sustainable development through the promotion of volunteerism. Each UNV volunteer has a responsibility to ensure that their voluntary contribution is as effective as possible. One way of doing this is through reflection. Reflection is an invitation to think about our actions so that we can act with more insight and effectiveness in the future. When related to service and volunteering, the opportunity for reflecting on experiences is crucial through every phase of an assignment.

Objective

The Volunteer Reflection Toolkit will be used by UNV to enable volunteers to understand, evaluate, and improve their roles as volunteers in leading and supporting development initiatives.
