Welcome to Nepal Red Cross Society Volunteer website.
Since its inception in 1963, Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS) has grown into
one of the largest organizations in the country. It has expanded its network
and extended its activities to all the 75 districts of the country through
effective mobilization of volunteers, staffs and community based societies
and sororities. The adoption of Red Cross principles in providing services
and the spirit of volunteerism and altruism espoused by Nepal Red Cross
human resources of all levels and their adherence to impartiality have
enhanced the image of NRCS. Nepal Red Cross Society’s image as an impartial
organization has resulted in acceptability and unhindered accessibility of
NRCS volunteers to all parties involved in a conflict. The Society has been
able to mobilize a large number of volunteers as well as considerable
resources for its programs, both internally and externally. It has earned
the trust and confidence of the general masses throughout the country.
Nepal Red Cross Society endorsed a Volunteering policy in 2002 with a clear
definition of the ‘volunteer’ in the recent constitution of NRCS.
Accordingly, NRCS has two types of Volunteers - governance volunteers and
program volunteers. Governance volunteers are the elected members of the
organization and work at the different levels to which they have been
elected. The program volunteers are involved in the conduct of specific
programs at the public contact level and have been categorized into
professional and general volunteers. Volunteers enjoy doing what they do,
that is, helping people, and one gets a good deal out of the social side of
being part of the NRCS program volunteer team.
All volunteers are actively involved in the programs to provide better
service to the vulnerable community. The latest strategy plan has laid out
multi-type implementation strategies; among them volunteer management is one
strategy drawn to implement the programs of NRCS with focus on increasing
volunteer involvement and participation as well as leadership and skill
development.
For better and more efficient planning, mobilization, recognition and
retention, Nepal Red Cross Society has, with the support of the Swedish Red
Cross, started a database system of all volunteers and capacity building
programs initiated since the last few years. The database will provide
information on NRCS volunteers. For better utilization and updating of
information, we request you to visit the site to see what good our
volunteers are doing for those vulnerable who are in dire need. We solicit
your valuable support and regular feedback.
