Volunteering in the Polish Red Cross - structure
The activities of the Polish Red Cross are largely based on the work of volunteers and members of the PCK - without them, we would not be able to reach such a large number of people and achieve our goals.
Volunteering in Groups, Circles, and Clubs of the Polish Red Cross
Volunteering at the Polish Red Cross is connected with the structure of the Association. Volunteers can get involved primarily in the activities of individual groups, circles, and clubs of the Polish Red Cross (we refer to them as the basic units of the Polish Red Cross).
These are:
Space for students and university staff who want to support those in need and realize the values of the Polish Red Cross. Join us, organize projects, and co-create nationwide initiatives!
SIM PCK groups are a space for young leaders who want to engage socially and develop their skills. Join us and create educational projects and initiatives that change local communities!
The groups carry out comprehensive rescue operations, providing assistance in disaster and natural disaster situations. It is a team of trained rescuers working with emergency services to effectively save human lives in difficult conditions.
Groups support those affected by disasters by providing shelter, material assistance, and psychosocial support. Become part of the team that helps in the most challenging moments!
Initiative for students and teachers, supporting school communities in the spirit of humanitarianism and assistance. Join the nationwide campaigns of the Polish Red Cross and bring the idea of helping to your school!
Clubs support the youngest in learning tolerance, helping those in need, and taking care of health. Join the initiative and help children develop social skills from preschool!
Youth HDK PCK Clubs are initiatives for students promoting the idea of voluntary blood donation. Join to support blood donation actions and help save lives!
A community of people engaged in promoting the idea of voluntary blood donation and supporting those in need. Members organize events, educate society, and create a space for the integration of honorary blood donors.

Volunteers and Members
Participation of volunteers in the activities of the Polish Red Cross (PCK) is governed by generally applicable provisions of Polish law.
A volunteer, just like a member of PCK, can engage in the realization of PCK's goals and activities, but they do not pay membership fees and do not have passive or active voting rights within the Association's structures.
A volunteer does not need to belong to any basic unit; they can assist in the work of a specific district or regional PCK branch, for example by participating in food collections, street fundraising, helping to organize events, etc.
A PCK member must belong to a specific basic unit of PCK.
Every member of the Polish Red Cross is simultaneously a volunteer of the Polish Red Cross.
