Volunteer opportunities in the UAE are regulated under federal law, with requirements in place to ensure volunteering is organised and safe. Applicants generally need to be UAE citizens or residents, be at least 18 years old, have good conduct and be medically fit for the role. Those below 18 can volunteer with parental consent. Volunteers carrying out work within a regulated professional field must hold the relevant licence.
Volunteers.ae is the UAE’s nationwide platform for finding approved volunteer opportunities.
