Become a volunteer

Voluntary service is the corner stone of the Lebanese Red Cross work. The Society relies, in its work and activities, on the efforts of its volunteers (men and women) of different ages, each according to his or her specialization, skills and knowledge, in order to fulfill local, national and international needs. Voluntary service is a fundamental principle and one characteristic of the interactive National Society.

Voluntary service in Lebanese Red Cross:
The organizational structure of the Lebanese Red Cross is flexible as to its capacity to receive volunteers wishing to support the services, work and activities of the Society. These volunteers get trained on essential skills so that they can perform their voluntary work on local, national or international levels.

Volunteers’ recruitment:
All Lebanese are welcome to volunteer all year long. Volunteers applying to work in the Local Organization (Local Committees) must be accepted by the Executive Committee. Recruitment of volunteers is done through announcements in centers, clubs, universities and high schools periodically for certain programs.
