Hi,

While living abroad, some expats wish to get involved in the local community life.

What organizations expats can turn to if they want to volunteer in Kuwait?

How to join a charitable institution, what are the steps?

Which causes have the greatest need for volunteers in Kuwait?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience and advice,

Maximilien

@Maximilien
Thank you for discussing and bringing such a useful Topic to the forum. I also have a keen interest to join as volunteer in some Organizations to fulfill my social responsibility. (Use to be a volunteer of some NGOs in my home country)

@nadahatab
It seems that you know much about volunteering organizations in Kuwait, just need to ask that is it compulsory to visit the organization daily, or we can go once in a week (Weekend / Friday).
Is there any particular qualification or experience needed to be a volunteer?

Thx
