Please visit the new page to apply.
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 affected 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. We can’t do it without you.
Volunteers are needed to help staff shelters in Disaster Relief Operations in areas impacted by hurricanes, wildfires and home fires. Make sure families don't face tough times alone. Compassionate and committed individuals needed to support sheltering efforts this disaster season.
During large disasters, you can support the day-to-day activities within a shelter, which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information, or other areas. Free online training will be provided. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4 to 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.
