Saudi Arabia: Volunteer registration now open for Haj 2025

Riyadh: The Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA) has officially opened volunteer registration for the upcoming Haj 1446 AH-2025 season.

This initiative supports the authority’s mission to promote volunteerism and increase community involvement in humanitarian services during the pilgrimage.

Volunteers can choose from four key tracks:

• Paramedic – Provide emergency first aid and support until specialist teams arrive
• Humanitarian – Assist pilgrims by distributing water, snacks, and offering guidance
• Media – Capture and document volunteer efforts through photography and videography
• Logistics – Help with transporting, distributing, and storing equipment and supplies.

The SRCA invites individuals to sign up via its official volunteer platform. The authority describes the experience as a rewarding opportunity to develop valuable skills, contribute to life-saving missions, and support the wider community.

Haj 2025 is expected to begin on the evening of Friday, June 6, and conclude on the evening of Wednesday, June 12, depending on the sighting of the moon.
