UNESCO World Heritage Volunteers Initiative 2026 Program: Call for Projects is a call for organisations to submit proposed action camps connected to a World Heritage site, mobilising young volunteers for conservation, awareness-raising and hands-on activities.

It includes a micro-grant component to assist participating organisations with administration and implementation costs. Applications are sought from organisations to run projects in 2026, in coordination with UNESCO World Heritage Centre and partners.

Micro-grants to selected organisations; involvement of international volunteers; participation in World Heritage conservation and awareness-raising activities; networking with site managers and local authorities.

Applicants must be between 18 and 30 years old to participate as volunteers.
