There are many ways you can help UNHCR. One is to make a donation, which will go straight towards our worldwide field operations. It's an easy process and you can give however much you want – everything helps.

Another way to help is to raise awareness, joining us on our social networks or helping to fundraise in your local communities.

We also welcome interns and UN volunteers at our headquarters and elsewhere.

🗓️ Organize an event

Would you like to support UNHCR’s special events or help spread the word about people who have been forced to flee? There are many ways that you can contribute and participate. Here are some ideas:

  • Host a World Refugee Day party – screen a topical film about the forcibly displaced or celebrate multiculturalism.
  • Organize a discussion at your home, place of worship, or community centre on refugee issues. Contact your nearest UNHCR office and ask for ideas, and maybe even a speaker.
  • Hold a debate on a topic important to you – for example, who is a refugee? What rights do refugees have? What is shelter? What can individuals and communities do to help?
