Volunteers act FIRST
Behind the progress lie many factors. One is the willingness of many individuals to donate their time, effort, resources and ideas to the wellbeing and advancement of all. We call them volunteers.
-late UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan

More than 48 Host Agencies mobilizing Volunteers
The V-Force has built partnerships with many organizations from private and public sectors and the United Nations agencies based in Sri Lanka. Whereas V-Force volunteers are mobilized always with a UN agency or partner organization of UnN agencies.
Volunteers at the forefront
V-Force was initiated in 2011 with a small group of 10 individuals. The group continued to grow through words of mouth and public outreach initiatives organized by UNV.
V-FORCE SERVICE LINES

Why we are different
The overall goal of V-Force is to leverage on the country’s rich volunteerism culture (40% of the population engages in volunteerism activities) and to provide opportunities for young people to strengthen skills. V-Force provides a nationwide platform for volunteers to network, collaborate and promote volunteerism. V-Force brings together people with a passion for volunteerism and a willingness to give back to society. V-Force makes way especially for the youth in Sri Lanka to initiate change and express their ideals while also ensuring youth participation in the development of the country.
