Volunteer
There is no single profile of a Red Cross volunteer. No matter what your religion, race, gender, education, income or age, chances are there is someone like you already volunteering with us. Like you, but not YOU.
We need YOU!
Some of our volunteers like to deploy around the country, and some never leave home. But what we all have in common is a desire to help others in our community to prepare for disasters and emergencies, to provide relief to victims whose lives have been greatly impacted by a disaster, or to help raise money to support our efforts. So, if you like to help people, you have come to the right place.
We will provide any training you might need, and it’s free of charge. Volunteering is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3…
