Please note we match volunteers with flight mile donors. We only accept applicants who are 1) traveling to Ukraine who are returning to their volunteer position and planning to serve there 6+ months or 2) volunteers leaving Ukraine who have served at least 6+ months and are leaving on good terms. Due to demand we CANNOT assist anyone traveling to Ukraine for the first time or any humanitarian volunteers working with NGOs; we are currently ONLY assisting military volunteers.  Please be informed that requests for more than one flight (e.g. going home and returning to Ukraine in a couple months) will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Finding a suitable air mile donor and flight takes much more time than simply booking a flight with cash, so if you urgently need a flight due to emergency, we are unfortunately unable to help. We cannot guarantee that we can provide flights for all applicants.

DO NOT APPLY if you do not have a visa to enter a neighboring country of Ukraine or a passport that allows you to enter without a visa. We cannot assist you to obtain a visa. 

Please note that before being sponsored, you will be subject to verification that may involve providing pictures of your military ID/contract, references and other documentation. Protect A Volunteer respects volunteer privacy and will never share your information outside of our organization without your permission.   

Protect A Volunteer cannot assist volunteers who are in any type of legal trouble or who are experiencing mental or physical health issues that would prevent you from boarding a commercial airline flight. If you are experiencing a medical emergency and need evacuation from Ukraine, our organization is not the appropriate one to arrange this. We suggest contacting ReactAid at info@re-act.org.uk to arrange a medical evacuation.

Once you apply for a flight, please wait for a volunteer to contact you and do not e-mail, message, or call PAV volunteers to ask about your application. Do not ask your friends or colleagues to contact us. We receive a large number of applicants and will respond to them as quickly as possible. If you have not received a response, please check your e-mail spam filters and check that you spelled your e-mail address and Signal number correctly.
