Volunteerism Plays Critical Role in Reaching World’s Millennium Development Goals
In 2011, the United Nations Volunteers Programme undertook research on the state of the world’s volunteerism and its relationship to eight Millennium Development Goals that countries agreed to achieve by 2015. The report, assisted by Jeffery Brudney, Ph.D., of the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University, provides food for thought for local communities, as well as the UN Conference on Sustainable Communities (Rio+20) to be held in June, 2012.
