Typically volunteers have at least five years of professional experience, are a minimum of 25 years of age, and serve in development projects with UN agencies, government and non-governmental organisations. They offer a broad range of expertise, including administration, agriculture, communication, community development, commerce, education, engineering, environment, health, human settlements, information communication technology, logistics, media and social sciences. Assignments usually last 24 months, however, assignments of 6 to 12 months are increasingly common. As a UNV volunteer, you offer your services on a voluntary basis. You are supported through several benefits, including a monthly living allowance. There are several ways to volunteer your time, as an international UNV volunteer working in a developing country abroad, as a national UNV volunteer working here in Albania or via your computer as an online volunteer. Explore the options below.

International UNV Volunteers

International UNV volunteer opportunities are open to professionals from any country who want to share their expertise with counterparts in developing countries. To take part you are invited to join the UNV roster. Your details will then be matched against requests from UN agencies, governments and non-governmental organisations throughout the world. This can be done directly on the UNV international website

National UNV Volunteers

National UNV volunteer opportunities are open to Albanian nationals who would like to volunteer their time in-country. Upcoming openings will be listed periodically on this site and are open to direct application.
