I was a intern under the Volunteer Services department and my supervisor was Taylor Poisall. I really enjoyed volunteering/interning with the Red Cross because I had the opportunity to give back to my community. I had the chance to help out during the California wildfires last year and understand the value and responsibility of a Red Crosser. Even virtually I was able to connect with others and help out with some administrative and recruitment related work. Its truly rewarding when you get to help others and make a difference in our community. I would highly recommend this organization.

So far, Red Cross has been a very uplifting experience for me to help my community even during these tough times. I would highly encourage people to help join Red Cross in the Central Valley!

I have to share this and I will keep it short and sweet!
I started with the American Red Cross after being a stay at home Mom for 17 years. Well I was ready for some adult interaction. So I Knew I loved Red Cross and I joined. The people you will meet here here are unlike any other. Be prepared to fall in love with a Mission of an organization you own in your heart.
I now am proud to say I work for the American Red Cross.
Truly PROUD!

I didn't know all that Red Cross did in the community before I joined the Red Cross. I recently volunteered at their Home Fire Campaign event where volunteers install free smoke alarms for anyone that needs it to help prevent home fires! This was a fun way to directly help the community by giving them livesaving resources.

I feel it's important to help our community. I hope that I can get onboard with your program to help provide assistance where needed.
