At the Northern Helsinki branch of Finnish Red Cross, we are offering two-ways multicultural activities: possibilities to get services and support, but also volunteering activities to participate in.

Services and support    

CV support - Hakemushelppi offers asylum seekers possibility to get support in drafting their CV and making job applications. Please contact keijo.rantanen(a)tapro.fi.

Volunteering activities

Non-Finnish speakers are very welcome to various volunteering activities.

Friendship activity – Ystävätoiminta 

is one of the activities where volunteers are needed: to take out elderly people and discuss with them, mainly in the area of Northern Helsinki. For more information, please contact tuulaboffour(a)hotmail.com.

Co-interpreter/Peer interpreter 

In all activities where foreigners are either helping or getting help, different language skills are needed. If you want to help translating as co-interpreter/peer interpreter, for example in activities like SuomiKamu, First Aid groups, help with homeworks, CV support etc, leave your contact information and languages you can interpret to hannele.kokotti(a)compesita.inet.fi and mehalet.yared(a)redcross.fi

Dream Team Helsinki

Dream Team is an international Finnish Red Cross group offering opportunities to volunteer. We as a group organize variety of events, but also join other groups in need for some extra muscle. Whether you want to volunteer only once in a while or several times a week, we will help you find what you are looking for. 

We volunteer for example with asylum seekers, immigrants, elderly, prisoners, homeless, children, students etc. You name it, we do it. You can find all the upcoming events in Facebook under events. All events have a host. Don't hesitate to contact them or the community for more information! No such things as stupid questions.

Did not find what you were looking for? Come and plan your own event! Just throw your ideas on the wall and we can plan together. Or come see us in one of our events. If nothing else helps, write us an email to dreamteamhelsinki@gmail.com
