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! |
