Serve military families by volunteering as a Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) Emergency Caseworker
Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces Emergency Caseworkers provide family follow-up, so the volunteer needs to be fairly comfortable calling a family who has just experienced an emergency- usually a death or illness. The caseworker calls to verify they have heard from their service member and to see if they have any other needs (providing resources and referrals if needed). Caseworkers also have to be comfortable working in a casework database (online training for this is provided).
SAF Emergency Caseworkers are "on call" to check the SAF casework queue twice a day and handle all cases that come in (Caseworkers are currently on-call for a week at a time). No military experience is required and this work can be done from anywhere remotely.
Note: this position also usually includes becoming an SAF Critical Community Services Caseworker (requires as little as an additional hour a week of volunteer time, also done remotely). These Caseworkers contact military families (usually by email) to give them basic information around critical services that Red Cross provides.
