This paper analyzes the role and importance of the leading international volunteer networking organization-the International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE)-and its influence on Taiwan's investment in international social capital. Given that volunteering is a key source of social capital, the promotion of volunteering and networking can contribute to the accumulation of social capital. By encouraging a reciprocal and cooperative relationship between Taiwan and IAVE, Taiwan can increase its store of social capital worldwide and at home, establish a link between UN associated organizations, and build and consolidate an equitable status for Taiwan in international civil society.
