Immigration – information for volunteers
The Red Cross helps migrants in vulnerable positions so that everyone can live a dignified life in safety, as part of a community and society.
The Red Cross works together with people who have moved to Finland. At the heart of its activities are people who need support with integration, with the realisation of their rights, or with finding their loved ones.
The Red Cross's activities are guided by the organisation's most important principle, humanity. We support people in need of help regardless of their legal or social status. For example, we help asylum seekers, applicants for temporary protection, quota refugees, and undocumented people.
This page is for volunteers involved in the Red Cross's refugee and immigration activities. Welcome aboard!
To get started, we especially recommend the Welcome to the Red Cross online course (45 min) and the Supporting Integration module. The Supporting Integration training (3h) covers refugeehood, integration, and racism, and introduces volunteer activities that support integration. Find the next course in Oma Punainen Risti here. In Oma, you can also search for other activities or training courses that interest you.
