Why Volunteer?
Volunteerism is your voice put into action. Actions that will transform your present, into a future you will be proud of.
“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve”
You don’t need to have a college degree to serve,
You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve,
You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve,
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around; we cannot live only for ourselves.
Volunteerism is an act of heroism, and it matters profoundly. It does more than help people beat the odds; it changes the odds.
Every person can make a difference, and every person should try, because alone we can do so little; but together we can do so much.
“So, start where you are; Use what you have; Do what you can”
About the CYVIp
We are a global community of volunteers working together to promote adolescents and young people’s meaningful engagement and participation through volunteerism, and community service.
We believe through volunteerism and meaningful youth engagement, issues pertaining to adolescents and young people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights, leadership and development can be sustainably addressed; if and only if young people themselves decide to play an active role in shaping the future where each voice counts, and their sexual and reproductive health and rights are respected, promoted, and enjoyed.

Our Community
The Community of Youth Volunteers Initiative and programs Network (CYVIp) is a gender inclusive youth centered movement and community; aimed at mobilizing, galvanizing and amplifying adolescents and young people’s voices, into meaningful actions; through a creative and participatory intervention approach of information imparting, and skills sharing.
A network to connect, support and empower adolescents and young people voices and meaningful participation; through information imparting, knowledge sharing, skills and leadership development. We are committed towards promoting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescents and young people as a tool towards achieving gender equality and the global goals pre and post the 2030 agenda.
“We recognise the struggles, and acknowledge the challenges in our endeavor(s); but we also accept, and see the opportunities in achieving this goal. A community where the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescents and young people are promoted, respected and enjoyed” – Emmanuel M. Ndabombi
We believe in volunteerism and community service as an inextricable tool to impart, and develop life changing skills; knowledge to inform on policies, and capacities to engage as key actors and active participants in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policy reforms and decision making.
