Global nonprofit Points of Light announced today the launch of Points of Light Engage, the world’s largest digital hub for volunteering and community engagement opportunities. Engage builds upon the technology and partnerships established through the All For Good initiative, which launched in 2008. The new service will serve as the organization’s premiere volunteer platform.

The 2nd UN South Asia Forum will be organised virtually over 3 days (17-19 March 2021). Safe space sessions – which will be held under the Chatham House Rule and aim to facilitate conversation among specific stakeholder groups – will be organised on 16 March prior to the official opening of the Forum.

"Discussions at the UN & Australia Sustainable Partnerships Forum will be underpinned by research released in 2020 on Australia’s progress against the SDGs. The Transforming Australia report showed that, while the country is performing well in health and education, it is failing to reduce emissions, waste, and environmental degradation" shares Sophie Arnold.

In this 4-part webinar series, we will explore the role of volunteers in social activism and the various ways they contribute to a more peaceful, equitable and sustainable society. The sessions will have a particular focus on the role of volunteers in dealing with the impact of and supporting the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
