Johanniter International (JOIN) is the partnership of the four protestant Orders of St. John and their national charities. Its member organisations, based in Europe and the Middle East, work in close cooperation and are supported by more than 100,000 volunteers. They serve humanity with medical services and first aid, social care, international aid, disaster relief and youth work. The services of JOIN’s member organisations are open to everyone.
Founded in 2000 and with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, JOIN's primary goal lies in advocating the interest of the St John charities towards European and international bodies and facilitates international projects and working groups.
Since 2006, JOIN has been registered as an association without lucrative purpose (vereniging zonder winstoogmerk), a non-profit organisation under Belgian law. JOIN currently has 20 member organisations, 16 of which are national charities from Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland, plus the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. The four protestant Orders of Saint John (the Johanniterorden, The Most Venerable Order of St John, the Johanniter Orde in Nederland, and the Johanniterorden i Sverige) which cooperate within the Alliance of the Orders of Saint John of Jerusalem, are also members of JOIN.
