International Volunteer Day is coming up.

About International Volunteer Day

International Volunteer Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2026 it falls on a Saturday; in 2027 it’s on Sunday 5 December, and in 2028 on Tuesday 5 December. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in December 2026: Hanukkah (4 Dec), World Soil Day (5 Dec) and National Day (Thailand) (5 Dec). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
