How to help
Become a Volunteer
Make a difference by working with us
More than 600 Open Arms volunteers are committed to the same mission: not one more life adrift. Thanks to their participation and dedication, we have managed to rescue more than 70,000 people at the sea. But many more are still to come. And with you, we can save them.
