Forging Ukraine Volunteers

All of our labor is provided by volunteers, and we welcome blacksmiths of every skill level. You do not need any previous blacksmithing experience or specialized training to join us. No matter your skill level or physical ability, we will find a meaningful way for you to contribute.

If you would like to volunteer with us please send a short introduction about yourself with any previous experience to forgingukraine@outlook.com

Much of the work is less about experience and more about being willing to stand in a very hot warehouse and hit steel with a hammer. We will teach you everything you need to know, and experienced volunteers will be there to guide you. We also have plenty of smaller jobs available, so anyone who is willing to help can play a valuable role in supporting our mission. If that still doesn't sound like your cup of tea feel free to donate.

ANY SUPPORT HELPS!!!
