There are many possibilities to get involved with the GRC.

You can volunteer for a certain period of time, for example working in a project for children, youngsters or seniors. You can also offer help spontaneously, for example when many helping hands are needed in case of storm or flood disasters. If any field of work is particularly appealing to you, you can also have a long-term commitment to your voluntary work. For some work fields it’s important to support the GRC for a longer period of time. For some you have to bring a bit more time, for some you don’t.

About the German Red Cross

About the German Red Cross

The Red Cross is an organization that is committed to ensuring a good and healthy life and protection in case of catastrophes, crises and wars for people all around the world. In many countries, the international emblem of the movement is the Red Cross, in some others it’s the Red Crescent.

DRK Halbmond

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement with its 190 national societies is the largest humanitarian organization in the world. The German Red Cross is part of this world-wide community that has been helping people in situations of conflict, in case of disasters and health or social emergencies for more than 150 years, the extent of their need being the only measure.

Throughout the many years of its existence, the Red Cross gained a lot of experience with the needs of people and the help that is needed and therefore is able to support in a very professional way. To ensure that this professional aid reaches all those who are in need, the Red Cross relies on the support of volunteer staff for whom the support of other is a matter truly dear to their hearts.

Our idea is supported by over a million of volunteers and members world-wide. In Germany about three million people are involved with the Red Cross.
