WHEN: November 3-5, 2016 WHERE: Convention Center, Puebla, Mexico The IAVE World Youth Volunteer Conference (WYVC) is a unique opportunity for young volunteers, under the age of 30, to meet together, volunteer together, learn and reflect together and begin relationships that can last for many years. It has been held in conjunction with eight of the World Volunteer Conferences since 1998, bringing together hundreds of young people from every region of the world.

The program of the World Youth Volunteer Conference includes:

• Time for reflection on the importance and meaning to them and those they serve of their volunteer work;

• Practical sessions that build skills • Opportunities to learn from one another about the nature of volunteering in their respective

countries; • Service projects; and, • Development of a resolution summarizing their perspectives on volunteering for presentation
