Volunteers are the backbone of the Islamic Relief USA™ family. They make it possible to get assistance to those who need it most quickly and efficiently. Volunteers assist IRUSA offices around the country every day by performing integral administrative duties, offering expertise for special projects and by helping at fundraising events. In some cases, volunteers also are trained to provide relief efforts in the field.
In Their Words
Here’s what IRUSA volunteers have to say about their experiences.
“Growing up, I always dreamed of an opportunity that would incorporate the fulfillment of my need as well as another person’s need. What Islamic Relief USA does for humanity is beyond words, masha’Allah. Knowing that in the end, on the other side of the world, stands a child smiling gratefully, giving me patience and making volunteering worthwhile.”
-Hasnia Bekkadja, finance volunteer, assisting with accounting“My team, along with members from the American Red Cross, covered more than 300 miles assessing homes, assessing damage and providing that information to the Federal Emergency Management Agency so that they can provide for the people here.”
-Rika Prodhan, Alabama relief team volunteer“It’s gratifying to volunteer for IRUSA because I am surrounded by a team of wonderful and passionate people who are devoted to helping needy people all over the globe.”
-Naela Bashar, operations volunteer, assisting with compliance
