(International Association for Volunteer Effort,简称:IAVE)。IAVE在中国港澳台等地区又称之为“国际义工协会”或“国际志工协会”,早期民政部也称为“国际自愿者协会”。IAVE始建于1970年,由一群来自世界各地的志愿者组成,他们因为共同意识到了志愿服务是一种可以互通不同国家文化的方式而走到了一起。IAVE在全球拥有超过70多个国家和地区的成员,已经成为一个志愿者、志愿者组织、各个国家和地区代表及志愿者中心的全球志愿服务网络。IAVE执委会在联合国经社理事会享有特殊的咨商身份,同时在联合国新闻部也有相关身份。IAVE是联合国非政府组织联盟的成员,并以联合国志愿者组织(UNV)观察员身份与联合国志愿者组织(UNV)建立起很强的工作关系。
介绍
Introducing IAVE
The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) was founded in 1970 by a group of volunteers from around the world who saw in volunteering a means of making connections across countries and cultures. It has grown into a global network of volunteers, volunteer organizations,national representativesandvolunteer centres, with
membersin over 70 countries, and in all world regions.The majority of IAVE members are in developing countries. IAVE is registered as a charity in the USA, in California, with By-Laws which set out the governing principles and procedures. IAVE has special consultative status with the UN ECOSOC Committee, and associate status with the UN Department of Public Information. It is a member of the UN Confederation of NGO’s, and has a strong working relationship with UN Volunteers, underpinned by a Memorandum of Understanding.
会徽
IAVE的红“V”字,已经成为全球志愿服务工作的国际标志性符号。它是由澳大利亚志愿者协会前总统玛格丽特·贝尔委托,授权给澳大利亚志愿者协会和国际志愿者协会(IAVE)的,现已被作为国际志愿工作的标志性符号。
The IAVE logo
The Red 'V' which has become an international symbol for volunteering was commissioned by Margaret Bell, former President of Volunteering Australia and given to Volunteering Australia and the International Association for Voluntary Effort (IAVE) to be used universally as a symbol of volunteering.
目的
IAVE旨在促进、加强和推进全球志愿服务的发展。作为唯一的国际性组织,这是IAVE的首要目的。
Aims
IAVE exists to promote, strengthen and celebrate the development of volunteering worldwide. It is the only international organization for which this is the primary aim.
管理架构
IAVE由一个国际委员会来管理。国际志愿者协会主席由理事会选举产生,副主席由全体会员选举产生,理事会成员由各个区域选举出的区域代表、特别委任成员和专业学术成员组成。并由理事会任命一个执行委员会,以处理金融财务和协会运营。理事会还任命其他必要的委员会和工作组,其中包括一个专门为选举而设立的提名委员会。
Governance and Structure
IAVE is governed by aninternational Board, consisting of the President elected by the Board; and Vice-President elected by the whole membership; Regional Representatives elected by and from the members in each region; and a number of members appointed to bring particular skills or expertise. For reasons of cost, the Board meets once a year for two days. It appoints an Executive Committee to deal with finance and other on-going business, which meets by telephone conference six times a year. The Board also appoints other committees and working groups as necessary, including a Nominating Committee for the conduct of elections.
成员
IAVE的运行工作几乎完全由志愿者来承担。在大约50多个成员的国家和地区建立起国家代表网络,旨在推动IAVE在他们国家的运行工作,同时也扮演着与其他成员联络的角色。全球会员管理由设在美国的秘书处办公室统一管理。IAVE在2006年成立了全球企业志愿服务理事会(简称:GCVC)。
Staffing
IAVE is still run almost entirely by volunteers. The President is also the CEO, and there is a network of volunteer national representatives in some 50 of the countries where IAVE has members, who promote IAVE in their country and act as a contact point with members. There is no permanent secretariat. IAVE's staffed offices include a small President’s office with part-time admin support. The membership is administered through an office in the US. The information service and website are located in Taiwan, staffed by a part-time executive director and a small team of volunteers. In 2006 IAVE launched a Global Corporate Volunteer Council, and engaged a part-time consultant to administer it. We therefore currently have two part-time staff, and have contracts for part-time work with two self-employed consultants.
工作项目
IAVE最著名的是两年一度的全球志愿者峰会及下属的青年志愿者会议。自1970年以来,国际会议已经进入了一个完整的运行轨道。杰出的演讲者和技术精湛且经验丰富的主持人,这些都是世界志愿工作范围内的重大事件,吸引了大量的全球观众。由各个国家的IAVE成员竞标来争取会议主办权,并最终推动了会议在全球范围内扩展。
2001年1月在阿姆斯特丹举行的IAVE全球志愿者峰会,同时被正式确认为联合国
国际志愿者年的开幕活动。全球志愿宣言在会议上被采纳。 IAVE成员在他们各自国家地区举办的年度大事件中发挥了重要作用,其中一个年度收盘事件是在日本举行的IAVE国际青年大会。这些开创性的事件的影响力,一直延续到2011年1月在新加坡举办的全球志愿者峰会,还有12月在哥伦比亚举行的IAVE全球青年首脑会议。
IAVE近年来一直在适应着世界志愿服务工作的变化,通过将自身定位为一个为志愿服务工作的发展而服务的重要领导机构,建立更具战略意义的作用。与此同时,保留了会员制度,使其成员通过基层志愿者、国家以及全球层面将志愿者利益相结合。
IAVE’s work program
IAVE is best known for its biennialWorld Volunteer Conferences and affiliated Youth Volunteer Conferences. The world conferences have run in an unbroken sequence since 1970. These are major events in the world of volunteering, attracting a global audience, distinguished speakers and skilled and experienced workshop presenters. IAVE members in individual countries bid to run the conference, with the result that the conference moves around the world.
In 2001, the UN International Year of the Volunteer, the IAVE World Volunteer Conference, held in Amsterdam in January 2001, was officially recognized as the opening event of the year. The Universal Declaration on Volunteering was adopted at the Conference. IAVE members all round the world played an important part in the Year’s events in their country, and one of the closing events of the Year was an IAVE International Youth Conference held in Japan. These groundbreaking events were echoed during IYV+10 in 2011, with the IAVE World Conference in Singapore in January, and the IAVE World Youth Summit in Colombia in December.
In recent years IAVE has been responding to changes in the world of volunteering by positioning itself as a key leadership body for the development of volunteering, building a more strategic role, whilst at the same time remaining a membership organization, connected through its membership to volunteering interests at grassroots, national and global levels.

三、IAVE国际会议 · Want to host an IAVE conference?
IAVE全球志愿者大会在世界范围内的志愿服务中都是独一无二的。它为所有参与到不同志愿工作的成员提供了一次面对面欢聚的机会,并设立了一个平台来分享他们的知识和对于这项伟大的全球性行动的理解。
会议吸引了杰出的国际演讲者、专业培训师、主持人和来自各个志愿国度、
非政府组织、科研机构、政府和企业部门。 IAVE世界志愿者大会为政策制定者、专业人士、倡导者和普通大众提供了许多交流互动的机会。
每一届的大会都各有不同。当然,每次大会的举行都是基于以往所做的事儿并由此成为辉煌历史里的一页。在大会上,预计将会有全体会议,论坛,研讨会和展览空间。重要的是,在会议之前,将举行一个非常有活力的青年会议。
自1970年以来,IAVE世界志愿者大会一直是最主要的召集来自世界各地的志愿者领导人的途径。
通常情况下,IAVE会在前一届大会之前,选择一个适当的时机,对外公布下一届可能主办大会的“竞标通知”,结果会在当届大会闭幕式会旗交接仪式环节公布。为了处理竞标邮件,志愿工作协会董事会将任命一个委员会,给董事会全体成员提供建议,并在前一届大会举办之前立刻开董事会,做出最后决定。按惯例来看,赢家直到闭幕式开始一直都会是一个谜。
在处理投标申请的时候,委员会和董事会将考虑,但不受到如下因素的限制,如竞标者是志愿者协会的成员,竞标者的所能容纳的成员量,对志愿者工作协会的熟悉度及其成员在世界各地区之间适当的轮换,等等。
一般来说,大多数的竞标申请里都会有来自全国志愿者中心和/或志愿工作协会的国家/地区代表的建议。 IAVE在世界每一个地区的国家都有成员网,在大约50个国家有着各国代表,在六个世界各地区的董事会成员中也有各自的区域代表。
IAVE世界志愿者大会一般每两年举行一次 (2001年国际志愿者年成立之年和2011年十周年庆典除外)。这里对已举办和即将举办会议的一个汇总:

IAVE World Volunteer Conferences are unique events in the world of volunteering. They are occasions when all those involved in the sector can meet to celebrate and have a platform to share their knowledge and understanding of this great world movement.
The conferences attract distinguished international speakers, expert trainers and presenters and leaders from the worlds of volunteering, NGOs, research, government and the corporate sector. IAVE's World Volunteer Conferences provide opportunities for policy makers, professionals , advocates and grassroots volunteers to interact.
Each IAVE conference is different, each special in its own way. Yet each builds on what has gone before and forms part of a unique history. At the conference it is expected that there will be plenary sessions, forums, workshops and an exhibition space. Critically, the conference will be preceded by a very dynamic Youth Conference.
Since 1970, IAVE’s World Volunteer Conference has been the primary global convening of leaders of volunteering from throughout the world.
When processing bid applications, the committee and the full board of directors will consider, but not be limited by, factors such as the volunteering pedigree of the bidding organization(s), the bidders' organizational capacity and familiarity with the IAVE association and its members, appropriate rotation from world region to region, and so on.
In general most bids come with a recommendation from thenational volunteer centerand/or the IAVE national/regional representative. IAVE has a network of members in countries in every region of the world,national representativesin some 50 countries, and regional representatives from six world regions on theboard of directors.
IAVE World Volunteer Conferences are generally held every two years (exceptions were made during the International Year of the Volunteer in 2001 and its tenth anniversary in 2011). Here is a list of past and future IAVE conferences:
