Now is the Time to Get Recognized – Learn About the Volunteerism of the Year Awards!

May 30, 2024

Kosovo is full of changemakers who see community improvement as a personal responsibility, and we believe that everyone’s contribution should be honored and rewarded – especially when all the dedication comes in the form of volunteer work.

For this reason, we are launching the first annual campaign and event for the Volunteerism of the Year Awards with the aim of recognizing, promoting, and expanding participation in volunteerism. 

This campaign includes all youth, municipalities, schools, businesses, diaspora representatives, and public figures who contribute to the community in various ways, with a special focus on contributions through volunteer work.

The Volunteerism of the Year campaign is supported by around 50 local and international organizations and institutions, click here to get to know the supporters.
