About Us

The public union “ASSOCIATION OF VOLUNTEER TEAMS OF UKRAINE” is a community that includes legal entities engaged in active volunteering, volunteer teams regardless of the number of active members, and individual volunteers.

The main goal of AVKU is to unite efforts and cooperation to increase the potential of the volunteer movement for strong support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and assistance to civilians affected by the criminal military aggression of the Russian Federation.

Close mutual support among volunteers of ALL GENERATIONS BY THE CALL OF THE HEART is daily practical work toward a faster VICTORY and active post-war revival of Ukraine!

AVKU emerged from many years of active volunteering by individual volunteers and patriotic civic organizations that are now part of the union, starting from the very beginning of the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014.
