Help prepare your community to survive a disaster before disaster strikes.

As the largest humanitarian organization in the United States, the Red Cross depends on volunteers to accomplish the organization's mission: providing relief to victims of disasters and helping people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. To prepare volunteers to participate in this vital mission, the Red Cross provides training for most volunteer positions; the level of training varies according to the requirements of the position. For example, Red Cross disaster volunteers work in a variety of positions, with specific training courses for each job. Training for health and safety instructors starts with a four- to six-hour course, with as many as 38 additional hours of training for special skills. Nurses bring specialized skills and experience and are incorporated into all Red Cross lines of service. Volunteers serve at all levels of the Red Cross

Mission Statement

The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

by Wendy R. from ID (December 17, 2008)
Volunteering overall and service to the community is obviously a very fulfilling way to spend your time, not only because you are giving back to a community, but you are improving people’s lives. I love working for the Red Cross here in Idaho, the workers at the Red Cross are amazing people, they genuinely care about the work they are doing, and they have a special regard for the volunteers as well. It is important I think as volunteer to not just know you are doing something for the community but to know the time and efforts you sacrifice doing so is appreciated – the Idaho Red Cross accomplishes and thrives in both aspects of service work!
