PLEASE NOTE: All volunteers must meet basic volunteer requirements including completing a background check and volunteer application.

Red Cross Office/Clerical Volunteer
Office volunteers will be providing assistance in the office by answering the phone, making copies, faxing information and greeting guests.

Red Cross Blood Drive Volunteer
Blood Drive volunteers will register volunteer blood donors and serve the donors refreshments from the canteen. Volunteers are always needed to assist with local and community blood drives.

Red Cross Youth Volunteer Programs
Youth volunteers are welcomed year around to assist with several opportunities. The Summer Youth Program allows students to volunteer throughout the summer months with various activities. Youth volunteers also help with blood drives, as office assistants, with group activities, data entry, our Scrubby Bear Program, Hospital Volunteering and many special events.

Disaster Services Training
People know they can rely on the American Red Cross to be there for them when disaster strikes. We meet their immediate emergency needs for food, clothing, shelter, emotional support and medical services with the help of trained volunteers—people like you—who fill a variety of specific roles. New volunteers are always needed. Specialized opportunities exist for licensed mental health professionals, nurses and other health professionals. Volunteer hours are flexible.

Disaster volunteer training is offered year-round and is free to participants. Once trained, you can volunteer locally to assist the hundreds of families affected each year by fires and other disasters that strike our community. After receiving the requisite training and experience, you can also become part of a large network of Red Cross volunteers, which responds to disasters and emergencies nationwide.

Training is available in shelter management, feeding operations, client casework, driving emergency vehicles, working with other emergency response agencies to coordinate relief efforts, keeping records, recruiting staff and setting up technological equipment for relief operations.
