Make things happen. Become a volunteer leader.
Would you like to use your personal and professional skills to lift other volunteers and at the same time help create communities for people in the capital? Then become a volunteer leader in one of our many activities.
At Red Cross Capital, there are many opportunities if you want to work with volunteer management. For example, you can become a volunteer team leader, activity leader, match coordinator, tour leader, camp leader or store manager. A beloved child has many names, and what it is called is less important. Ultimately, it is about people and making things happen together.
We have divided the leadership roles into two general categories: Leadership in 1-1 activities and leadership in communities. You can read more about them in the boxes below.
If you want to take responsibility, coordinate and create a good framework for others, then you are exactly what we are looking for. Register via the form and we will call you to tell you more about the specific opportunities.
