Am I insured if I participate in a volunteering activity?

Dennis Geerts Last updated: 27 Jul 2026

Yes, organizations are legally required to take out insurance for every volunteer who is active with them. They must inform you about this at the start of your activity.

Does this not happen automatically? Be sure to ask about it because it is your right to know how you are insured.
