How did you hear about volunteering with Eurorelief? If from another volunteer or partner organisation, then please tell us who (name).?

Just to make you aware, Eurorelief is an NGO that is based on Christian values and ethics from the Bible. Proselytising is forbidden in camp, and for good reasons: it is a government facility and the people we are working with are very vulnerable. It is our conviction that humanitarian aid should not be tied to missionary activities, and we strongly hold our volunteers to this policy. We provide aid independently of beneficiaries’ nationality, ethnicity, religious or political affiliation, gender or age. However, Eurorelief is indeed an NGO that is based on a Christian worldview, values and ethics from the Bible. We expect all our volunteers to respect and apply those values in all our activities. We do training when volunteers arrive that is based on these values and we also have a mandatory meeting each Tuesday night for anouncements, fellowship, food, worship and a short Bible study . You do not need to be a Christian to volunteer with us, but you should be comfortable with the fact that most of the others are.

Please continue with the application if you are happy to proceed on this basis.

Please select your preference of where you would like to serve. But please be aware that we allocate volunteers to where we need them most and this may mean we are unable to guarantee your preference.
