Volunteers are invited to join humanitarian missions that will take place abroad. Artyom Metelev, head of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy, announced this on his telegram channel.

The organizers are the Association of Volunteer Centers and Rossotrudnichestvo. More than 10 foreign humanitarian missions are planned this year. Recruitment is already open for two of them, they will be held in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

The mission to Kyrgyzstan starts in May, to Kazakhstan - in June. To participate in them, clinical rehabilitation massage therapists, psychologists, specialists in adaptive and physiotherapy exercises and speech therapists for children with disabilities are required.

Rossotrudnichestvo and the Russian Humanitarian Mission launched the Mission Good project for volunteers in 2021. Russian volunteers go abroad, where they work with their local colleagues on humanitarian projects. Each mission is designed for up to two months.

There were five missions in 2022. Expeditions were carried out in Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

This year the project will cover not only the CIS countries, but also the territory of the African continent. Russian volunteers will present the most interesting Russian practices in the field of inclusive education, medicine, disaster prevention, ecology and agriculture.
