The 2022 State of the World’s Volunteerism Report, Building Equal and Inclusive Societies, presents new evidence on the relationship between volunteers and the state. It shows that the ways in which volunteers and state authorities interact, collaborate and partner are vital for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The State of the World’s Volunteerism Report 2018, The thread that binds: Volunteerism and community resilience, examines how the distinctive characteristics of local volunteerism help or hinder communities in crisis.

The State of the World’s Volunteerism Report 2015, Transforming Governance, is the first global review of the power of volunteer voices to help improve the way people are governed.

By suggesting how volunteerism can be taken forward, the 2011 State of the World's Volunteerism Report, Universal Values for Global Wellbeing, provides an alternative vision of a better society.
