The program's distinctive attributes include its focus on addressing a pressing global issue, providing holistic support, promoting cultural immersion and exchange, fostering skill development, driving sustainable impact, offering innovative solutions, and emphasizing inclusiveness.
United Planet's volunteer program has been instrumental in assisting Ukrainian refugees in Moldova. The organization's collaboration with local non-governmental organizations has allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the refugee crisis, enabling United Planet to identify and respond to the specific areas of need.
Volunteers involved in the program play a crucial role by providing hands-on support, such as supplying donations and necessities to Ukrainian refugees. Moreover, they offer administrative and logistical assistance in relocation, job placement, and legal matters. United Planet's comprehensive approach ensures that volunteers make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of those affected by the crisis.

These partnerships contribute to the development of a more peaceful and just society and enable United Planet to engage volunteers at both the national and international levels.
