Looking for a way to make a difference? Become an American Red Cross volunteer and help us fulfill our lifesaving mission of helping people in need.
There are lots of different ways you can help. Does responding to local or national disasters appeal to you? How about helping hospital patients by sponsoring a blood drive or greeting blood donors at bloodmobiles?
Would you like to support our Services to the Armed Forces program by helping patients in military hospitals and at Veterans’ Administration facilities? Is teaching something you like to do? Why not be a volunteer instructor and teach first aid / CPR / AED classes or babysitting classes?
How about helping people all over the world? Become an International Humanitarian Law instructor. Or you could support our International Tracing Services and reunite families living overseas, in war-torn countries or even in your community.
Savvy on social media? Be an online advocate and tell the Red Cross story. Serve on local boards and help with fundraising and marketing. Be part of the behind-the-scenes Red Cross team by volunteering in our offices.
These are just a few of the ways you can make a difference as a Red Cross volunteer. We’ll help find the position that appeals to you and allows you to use your skills and talents.
More than 300,000 volunteers help the Red Cross carry out its lifesaving mission. Join us. Make a difference. Volunteer.
