As the club seeks to help volunteer movements in the Arab region by integrating the concepts and applications of sustainable development and climate action into their volunteer initiatives and working to spread the culture of green volunteering. Among volunteers and linking volunteer movements with Arab NGOs.
The international volunteering report issued by the United Nations Volunteer Program in 2022 on the state of volunteering in the world indicated that the monthly number of volunteers in our Arab countries It has reached 26,201,390 volunteers. This volume of Arab volunteers can become an added social and economic value for sustainable development and climate action in the Arab region if it is properly employed and invested.
However, the report points out many challenges facing the growth and investment of volunteer movements in the Arab region, including the lack of opportunities available to qualify volunteers and the absence of mechanisms To monitor and develop their practices and the lack of opportunities to support their community initiatives...etc
In addition to the weak role of volunteers within Arab NGOs and the ability of NGOs to attract volunteers and invest their efforts in the development of local communities.
Hence comes the importance of the Arab Club, which seeks to build an interactive platform among Arab volunteers that facilitates the exchange of experiences among them and supports the orientation of civil society organizations. To integrate the concepts of sustainable development and climate action into volunteer work and spread the culture of green volunteering, in addition to working to confront the challenges facing them, and to support the building of partnerships between the parties concerned with the development of volunteer movements in the Arab region.
