This summer, turn your compassion into action when you volunteer with the American Red Cross. Communities across the country count on the Red Cross every day. The need remains critical and constant during the summer months. From helping people effected by disasters, like home fires and floods, to supporting the collection of lifesaving blood, you can make a difference. Ninety percent of our workforce are volunteers who are inspired to give back. Discover the volunteer role that’s right for you. We can’t do it without you. Join us today and discover one of the best ways to spend your summer.
As a Shelter Service Associate, you can support the day-to-day activities within a shelter during a large disaster which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information, or other areas within a shelter. Free online training will be provided. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4-12 hours each. For those able to travel outside of their local area, a commitment of at least 14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required.
Be a meaningful part of a larger mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering.
Training is free, but the hope you provide is priceless. Make a difference by turning tragedy into hope.
