Volunteerism is very important in the bosom of Fraternite Notre Dame, because it allows any person to better understand the extreme poverty and suffering of the poorest of the poor, and gives him/her an opportunity to help a greater number of poor people.
Volunteerism is possible for all, both very young people and adults. In every one of our Missions, we need volunteers in all trades (medical doctors, surgeons, nurses, construction specialists, electricians, teachers, gardeners, cooks, printers, etc.) even completely unqualified people, if willing to be useful to the poorest of the poor, can come and help for a week, a month, 3 months, a year or more.
You may work along with Fraternite Notre Dame's members, even when you do not know the language of the country you work in, this is not a problem, because we do need your experience, your time, your generosity.
Special volunteer programs are available for young people in most of our missions, to give the youth a sense of others, for too many are the young people who have grown insensitive due to too much violence and horror conveyed by the media.
The realities of life show enough miseries, our youth should not become egoistic and insensitive.
To you, the reader of these few lines: if you are unable to help us financially, in kind or as a volunteer, at least, make us known to those around you and take upon yourself to give to others the opportunity to support a Work consecrated to God for the alleviation of the destitute.
To help Fraternite Notre Dame, if you feel attracted by the religious or sacerdotal vocation, so to give yourself entirely to Christ and Mary Immaculate for the benefit of Holy Church, the vocation of praising God and serving the poor by practicing the Holy Gospel, please join us.
Fraternite Notre Dame lives on the donations it receives from other organizations, foundations and private individuals, made to pursue the work started. Such donations are used to pay for the erection or refection of a building, cover various utilities costs, such as water, electricity, heating…
