On December 5th, we celebrate International Volunteer Day – a special holiday for people with great hearts, who selflessly act for the benefit of others, inspiring us all to build a better world. It is also an excellent opportunity to emphasize the role that volunteering plays in the Polish Red Cross and to encourage new people to join our mission.
Volunteers of the PCK – the heart of our organization
Volunteering in the Polish Red Cross is more than just actions – it is a way of life based on empathy, solidarity, and mutual respect. PCK volunteers are people of different ages and from various backgrounds, united by a common goal: to provide help where it is most needed. Thanks to them:
We reach those in greatest need – volunteers participate in humanitarian aid actions, support people in life crises, and engage in assistance for migrants and refugees.
Education and prevention – they conduct first aid workshops, educational activities in schools and local communities, promoting safety and a healthy lifestyle.
Support during disasters and crises – they are always there where there is a need for quick response, providing food, hygiene products, and other forms of support in crisis situations.
Building relationships in local communities – they organize integration events and help the elderly and lonely, strengthening interpersonal bonds.
Every action they take is based on the values that form the foundation of the Polish Red Cross: humanitarianism, impartiality, and professionalism.
How to become a PCK volunteer?
Joining the ranks of volunteers of the Polish Red Cross is easier than you think! Regardless of your age, experience, or skills – everyone will find space to act here.

PCK offers a variety of engagement opportunities – from activities in youth clubs, through humanitarian aid actions, to supporting local communities. On the website pck.pl/wolontariat you will find details about available forms of volunteering.

Prepare for action
PCK volunteers participate in training that helps them acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for effective assistance. As a result, each of their actions is well thought out and provides real support to those in need.
Start your adventure with volunteering!
Act with heart, prudence, and readiness to change the world for the better. As a PCK volunteer, you join a community of people who are collectively building a future based on solidarity and mutual support.
Why is it worth it?
Volunteering is not just about helping others – it is also an opportunity for personal development, gaining new experiences, and building lasting relationships. PCK volunteers speak with one voice: "Helping changes us!" These are everyday gestures that create significant changes – from the smile of the person you helped to the satisfaction that comes from doing good.
Thank you for being here!
