International Association for Volunteer Effort

The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) "was founded in 1970 by a group of volunteers from around the world who saw in volunteering a means of making connections across countries and cultures. It has grown into a global network of volunteers, volunteer organisations, national representatives and volunteer centres, with members in over 70 countries, and in all world regions. The majority of IAVE members are in developing countries."

Sponsors include companies like Eli Lilly and Company.
