Want to get involved as a volunteer with BelRefugees ?
With more than 600 active volunteers every year, BelRefugees owes a large part of its work to the citizens who commit alongside us to help create the conditions for a dignified welcome for people on the move.
To present all our activities and the different volunteering opportunities, information sessions are organized monthly.
“Since I joined the Citizen Platform, I have been able to put faces and smiles to the numbers, and stories to the discourse we hear in the media. I have learned to understand these people and their journeys, to open myself to new cultures, and to learn. It has truly changed my vision of the world and made me realize that, after all, we are all human, we all deserve to live with dignity, and without solidarity, our world would be a very sad place.”
