Becoming a volunteer
Volunteering in your own country
National Societies recruit volunteers to carry out tasks that directly
or indirectly help vulnerable people. Each National Society has
different volunteer programmes, and requires different skills to
make these programmes effective.
To become a volunteer with the Red Cross/Red Crescent, you need
to contact the nearest branch of the National Society in your country
for details of the programmes that they run and their current needs
for volunteers.
If you do not have an address for the nearest branch of your National
Society, please look in the directory for the national contact details of your Society. Otherwise, Red
Cross and Red Crescent National Societies should be listed in local
telephone books.
International volunteers
The International Federation does not take on volunteers directly
for its international operations. This is due to the nature of the
Federation's international programmes, which are always run in cooperation
with its National Societies.
As the Federation does not run its own volunteering programmes,
please do not contact us directly with enquiries.
The International Federation does not run exchange programmes between
National Societies either. However, it is possible that individual
National Societies may run exchange programmes for people wishing
to volunteer to work in another country. Please contact your own
National Society to see if it is involved in such a programme.
If you do not have an address for the nearest branch of your National
Society, please look in the directory for the national contact details of your Society. Otherwise, Red
Cross and Red Crescent National Societies should be listed in local
telephone books.
Thank you for your interest! |
