Verzoek om vrijwilligers (Engels)

Fidesco sends volunteers to aid the Catholic Church worldwide. They support the local Church with their professional experience and competencies and their testimony of faith. Next to their efforts in the field of humanitarian development our volunteers often help with parish activities, catechesis, liturgy or other aspects of daily life in parishes and congregations. If you need a catholic professional and cannot hire a local person with the same competencies in your own country, you can request a Fidesco volunteer for support. The following requirements need to be observed before applying:

• A clearly defined mission (clear project goals, description of the volunteer’s work and his/her expected profile)
• The commitment to keep a volunteer for the time agreed upon in the volunteer contract
• Modest but fair accommodation with good hygiene
• Pay for a monthly benefit for housing, food and stipend
• Communal and spiritual support

You can fill in the application form here and email it here. Our country correspondent or follow-up team will then contact you for further information and arrangements. It is important to note that we can never guarantee the coming of a Fidesco volunteer because the number of applications exceeds the number of volunteers and volunteers’ profiles change often: one year we may have many nurses and doctors, another year more managers, teachers, technicians, etc. However, do not hesitate to apply or contact us for questions or more information.
