year = {2016},
note = {As with the Millennium Development Goals, the UN’s Post-2015
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will only be achieved with the
active engagement of volunteers. Volunteer contributions to
sustainable development are distinctive. Volunteers’ close
engagement with communities in need, their skills and motivation to
contribute to more inclusive, active and cohesive societies, and
modeling/facilitation of the reciprocal exchange of knowledge and
skills among stakeholders make volunteers distinctive actors in
support of the achievement of the SDGs. This paper discusses options
for documenting and showcasing the collective contributions of a
diverse community of volunteers to sustainable development, in the
context of recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).},
