Whether it’s helping set up shelters, distributing meals, or offering comfort to those in crisis, you’ll be a lifeline in times of need.

Here’s what you can expect:
Training for Success: Receive all the tools and knowledge needed to confidently support disaster relief.
Full Coverage: The Red Cross handles travel, lodging, and meal costs, so you can focus on helping others.
Meaningful Impact: Work on the front lines of disaster response, turning compassion into action.
