Join Forum
Join the most significant global network of volunteering for development organisations working for a world where no one is left behind.
Forum is a global network of organisations that work through volunteers to achieve sustainable development. We have a diverse group of member organisations encompassing non-profits and government agencies, and organisations that support volunteers at the local, national and international levels. Forum also has an Associate Member category for organisations that work in the volunteering and development space, but that don’t mobilise volunteers.
Since 1964 Forum has been the sole global network representing and strengthening the volunteering in development sector. Our members represent organisations from around the world who recognise the power of volunteering and international cooperation to achieve sustainable development.
Forum is at the forefront of researching, promoting and supporting responsible and impactful volunteering. We promote inclusivity and reciprocity, foster knowledge sharing, and create spaces for critical debates amongst our members and the wider volunteering and development sectors.
Why your organisation should join Forum
As a Forum member, you will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded organisations, engage with researchers, share best practice and support continuous improvement within our sector. All our members take part in the same member groups, events, and research projects, and engage with the Global Volunteering Standard.
We create spaces for our members to connect and network. Each year, the IVCO conference brings together the leaders of volunteering organisations from around the world, and throughout the year Forum hosts engaging webinars and Heads of Agency meetings.
Forum members connect through active working groups and communities of practice. These groups are focused on research, standards, security, diversity and inclusion, and climate action.
Forum established the Volunteer Groups Alliance, the voice for volunteers at the United Nations.
