Volunteer programs at the Arab Club for Green Volunteering
Arab Fellowship for Green Volunteering
Introduction to the Training Program
The importance of this program “Arab Green Volunteering Fellowship” stems from the role that Arab volunteer movements can play in supporting sustainable development goals and climate action within Arab local communities. A UN report issued in 2018 recorded that the number of volunteers in the Arab world had reached 9 million people, constituting 8.2% of the total number of volunteers in the world, whose number is estimated at about 109 million people working full-time, as if they were in a paid job. Despite the community contributions made by volunteers throughout the Arab region, they still need to develop their community practices and link them to sustainable development and climate action, which is what the Arab Fellowship Program seeks to do by providing volunteers with modern methods for integrating sustainable development goals and climate action within their practices, as well as tools for sustainable social innovation as well. The program aims to build a platform for communication between Arab volunteers in order to exchange experiences and support in supporting and spreading a culture of green volunteering.
