The "General Assembly the United Nations” called on Governments to observe annually, on the 5th of December the "International Volunteer Day" for economic and social development, and urged them to take measures to increase awareness of the importance of the contribution of volunteer service, and thus stimulate more people from all walks of life to offer their services as volunteers at home and abroad.

Volunteering in the Emirates is of great importance both at the institutional level or individual view due to the value of this humanitarian action in the development of the community, alleviate the suffering of others and serious engagement in building and the development process. With the opening of the “Dubai Volunteering Center” in 2012, which is the first volunteer center of the Government of Dubai, the Centre takes care of management of initiatives and events of voluntary bodies and various associations in the Emirate of “Dubai”.

As for the educational institutions, they also play a role, they not only provide the highest certification which qualify students for jobs, but help in construction of the student's personality, and enhance the sense of responsibility and leadership to build a generation capable of leading the future phase. As his Excellency Sheikh “Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan” Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research has stressed that the whole educational process is designed to bring the student to the ambitious place which corresponds to the aspirations of the cultural renaissance of the nation, through initiatives that include programs and educational activities and increasing opportunities for internships and volunteer work. In addition to partnerships between educational institutions and the relevant authorities, the “Dubai Press Club” has made volunteering open to students in the State, and it tours various universities and colleges in the State, students also participate in the first edition of "UAE Media Forum", which will be held on the 18th of December 2013, to involve students in the labor market and provide them with practical experience and skills before graduation.

The “United Nations” launched the "International Volunteer Day" under the theme “Young Global Active” to pay tribute to the contribution of youth in the field of world peace and sustainable human development and in recognizing all volunteers' commitment and applaud hundreds of millions of people who volunteer to make the world a better place.

UAE institutions worked under this theme, the “Emirates Foundation for Youth Development” urged to foster a culture of giving in various parts of the State, through philanthropy and corporate social responsibility. Launched through “Takato” and in partnership with HCT in “Abu Dhabi”, a specialized training course entitled “The Fundamentals of Volunteering” to cover cities across the State, the Foundation in 2013 made a number of initiatives and campaigns, including “Clean up the Desert Campaign” and “Clean the Sea Campaign” of harmful waste, and cleaning up parks and public beaches to preserve its beauty in all the Emirates.

The "Red Crescent" launched “Awn Award” for community service in order to promote the spirit of volunteer work and instill the concept of social responsibility in youth, in conjunction with the announcement about “sahem Program” which contributed to the voluntary programs to promote community initiatives and attract volunteers and university students to contribute to the humanitarian work of the Red Crescent and achieve its mission locally, in addition to the importance of " Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work", which concentrates on promoting and stimulating volunteer work in the State, and finding its base by educating young people since the very beginning, to engage in volunteer work.
