Volunteer Swap

The Volunteer Swap is an intercultural and international exchange programme for St John volunteers. It emphasises the value of volunteering for society and enables its participants to gain new experiences within the international St John family.

Johanniter International member organisations invite volunteers from other countries to support them doing their job. In exchange, St John volunteers are usually provided with food and accommodation and enabled to experience that they are part of the international St John family. Thus, the Swap reflects and promotes one of the main priorities of Johanniter International.

With our great team from all over Germany, but also Poland, Austria, Great Britain and Ireland, we were always able to ensure that the athletes and spectators of the marathon received professional help in an emergency. I would like to say a special thanks to the many volunteers, without whom such missions would not be possible."

By signing our partnership agreement, we want to take our cooperation to a new level through JOIN. We have common training and application standards and are in constant exchange to learn from each other.

What was left in Germany were many new friends. What I brought with me was one of the best weeks so far.

It feels fantastic to be able to say that when I refer to my colleagues in St John, I don’t just refer to the dedicated volunteers we have here in the UK, but to the thousands of volunteers worldwide.

The whole experience for us was one of great pleasure, we met wonderful people and worked with dedicated St John members who provide, not first aid, but social care in their communities.
