The document outlines the milestones and objectives of the International Year of Volunteers (IYV) 2001 as proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1997. The IYV 2001 aimed to recognize volunteers of all kinds, facilitate volunteerism through initiatives like national volunteer centers and insurance, and promote volunteering through activities, media coverage, and major events. National committees were to be established to plan activities to meet the IYV 2001 goals and objectives nationally and internationally.
