About us
The Norwegian Red Cross mission is to reveal, prevent and alleviate human suffering and distress. Our activities are grounded in local needs, resources and competencies.
A large network of volunteers
Our work is volunteer-based and organized to ensure that we can reach people in need quickly and efficiently. The Red Cross has local branches throughout Norway and when a crisis strike, we can mobilize a large network of volunteers in a short time.
Our teams are trained in search and rescue, physical and psychosocial first aid and will help out with evacuation, logistics and other practical or humanitarian needs.
Join our team, and become a volunteer!
Driven by a desire to help others
There are people all over the world who need help, including in Norway. The problems here differ from those in other countries where armed conflicts or natural disasters produce need and suffering. They include substance abuse problems, difficulties adjusting to a new country, getting lost or injured in the mountains, and the many lonely people who simply need someone to talk to.
Support our work!
Part of a large global movement
