ICRC alumni Information

The ICRC alumni is an association of former ICRC employees. Whatever our function and posting was, we keep in touch with former colleagues and friends and live the values of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement, as our watchwords reflect: keep in touch, live our values. This association is ours. While helping each other and in particular those who quit the ICRC today, we of course support the ICRC while some may volunteer for their domestic Red Cross or Red Crescent society with skills they acquired for instance about restoring family links, active listening of people in distress, etc. We are both a global network with members wishing to be in contact from all over the world, as well as local groups meeting regularly for conferences or informal drinks. Officially launched in 1983, it was named "Association of Former Delegates of the ICRC" until recently. The change to ICRC alumni in 2014 reflects an adaptation to the reality of the composition of ICRC staff, around 80% being now recruited internationally, be they delegates, expatriates, local employees, residents or mobile and wherever in the world they live.
