A volunteer is one who, without pay, reaches out beyond the confines of his/her normal responsibilities, to freely and willingly carry out relevant tasks of the KRCS with the ultimate aim of achieving the stipulated objectives of the National Society. These tasks may be performed either regularly or occasionally, whenever the need arises.
Volunteering in the KRCS
Volunteering is the backbone,and the heart of the society's work
Volunteering, within the Society is an activity that is:
Motivated by the free will of the person volunteering, and not by a desire for material or financial gain or by external social, economic or political pressure.
Intended to benefit vulnerable people and their communities in accordance with the Fundamental Principles of the Movement.
Organized by recognized representatives of the Society.
Member as a Volunteer
Within the Society a person can have the legal status as a member, and at the same time be involved in an activity as a volunteer. Not all Members of the Society are volunteers and neither are all Volunteers of the Society Members. The choice is left to the person as to the amount of involvement that they will have within the Society.
