Volunteer
The American Red Cross is one of several community organizations working together to respond to disasters. Your local Red Cross recruits, trains and places volunteers who make valuable contributions, from the front lines of a disaster to the background of office support.
We match knowledge, skills, interests and experience of individuals with opportunities to serve the community.
