Marking the 1 year anniversary of IVolunteer International, we are excited to launch our most recent global initiative. This initiative called “Birthday-Deed” will be focusing on encouraging individuals around the world to do something good on their birthday. We believe, that our world will have a great positive impact if 7 billion people in this world did something good to their community on their birthdays.
Vision
To make everyone in this world who is willing and able, to do something good on their birthday.
How It Works
If you’re interested in doing something good on your birthday, you can sign up to be in our database. When your birthday is nearby, we send you a reminder email, wishing you a happy birthday and giving you a list of options you could do on your birthday.
Then, on your birthday, with all the celebration and happy vibes, we hope you do something good and complete your #Birthdaydeed. It could be anything you choose to do – big or small. When you complete your birthday-deed, you can take pictures and put it up on social media using the hashtag #Birthdaydeed. You can nominate your friends and refer them to our page so your friends can sign up too! We are so excited!
