JEDDAH — The Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) has opened volunteer registration for the annual Hajj pilgrimage 2025, as part of its ongoing efforts to promote volunteerism and encourage community participation in humanitarian services.

Volunteers can choose from four main tracks: paramedic (providing emergency first aid and rescue before specialized teams arrive); humanitarian (offering support and care to pilgrims through the distribution of snacks, water, and guidance); media (documenting volunteer efforts through photography, videography, and editing); and logistics (assisting with the distribution, transportation, and storage of materials and equipment).

The SRCA encouraged interested individuals to register via its volunteer platform. It highlighted that volunteering with the Red Crescent provides a rewarding opportunity to develop skills, deliver vital humanitarian services, and contribute to saving lives and supporting the community.
