Fulfill the dream of being a part of the United Nations. Opt Volunteerism
Volunteering is an act of kindness. It is serving people with love and gratitude without expectations or any need for compensation and personal convenience. It comes naturally to people who like to do meaningful work for the society and enjoy it. Volunteer work is more valuable than the actual office or fieldwork. If one is considering volunteering then it’s a great way to help individuals and communities in need. It offers essential help to worldwide causes, people, and a lot of communities. Many organizations rely on the generosity of volunteers to help them thrive and do their work.
The United Nations Organization has also set up 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) designed to achieve a better future for all the people across nations. Some of these goals are: eradication of Poverty and Hunger, promoting Good Health and Well-being, providing Quality Education, supporting Innovation, Reducing Inequality, promoting world Peace and Justice. Major progress has already been made towards quality education and learning in schools. Dr. Varun Gupta is the Peace Ambassador to promote United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
If you are inspired to take concrete action for global education and peace like our edupreneur, Dr. Varun Gupta then you can volunteer for SDG in the following ways:
- Promoting peace in education
Peace is an important aspect of quality education. It helps children and younger adults to enhance their values and skills, gain knowledge, and build an attitude about the meaning of peace in human life. As a volunteer one should make schools and colleges aware of the significance of peace in education. How it helps to resolve inner conflicts and inculcates the feeling of freedom, confidence, and respect for human rights. Also, civic values must be inculcated that helps students to focus on the long-term upliftment of society.

- Inspire the youth to teach
One of the major SDG goals is to impart quality education at the primary school level to both boys and girls. One can outreach to young individuals and motivate them to teach English to school students. Help and assist in primary school classes, teach different subjects to students, and promote the importance of sports activities in schools.

- Motivate to generate personal income
Another way to contribute towards the SDG goals is to teach young adults practical business skills. This would, in turn, help them to create growth opportunities and generate personal income. Business skills such as leadership, marketing, sales, planning, project management, communication and negotiation etc. will help students to effectively transform their business ideas into reality.

- Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Innovation is the need of the hour and therefore students should be made aware of its importance. Volunteers should support domestic technology development by teaching research skills and experimentation to younger adults. A spirit of entrepreneurship should be promoted by motivating them to dream big and transform their ideas into reality. More focus should be on teaching industrial diversification and communications technology.
- Health and Hygiene
Focus on promoting good health and well being for all by spreading consciousness about cleanliness and sanitation. Volunteers should make sure that people have access to clean water, essential medicines, and vaccines. Educating young people on health and hygiene is very necessary to ensure everyone lives a healthy life.

- Promote equality
Equality and diversity are very important in all aspects of our lives. Being a part of an extremely diverse society, we need to respond appropriately and respect each diverse culture and treat everyone equally. By promoting equality and diversity, volunteers need to create an inclusive environment. By providing organizational training and assistance they can help to remove growth barriers and offer opportunities to more people. Volunteers can contribute towards this vital goal of SDG by educating the younger generations and teaching principles of fairness, respect and dignity.
