 Volunteer Benefits  

Some of the benefits you'll receive from working on the American Red Cross team will include:

  •  meeting new people, making new friends and developing professional contacts.
  •  supporting a cause you truly believe in.
  •  free disaster preparedness and training courses. 
  •  free CPR/AED/First Aid training (after 50 hours of service).
  •  free Defensive Driving class.
  •  insurance coverage while performing Red Cross duties. 
  •  feeling the personal satisfaction of helping others.
  •  making a difference in your own community.

Most people find themselves in need at some point in their lives. Today you may be the person with the skills and time to help, but tomorrow you may be the recipient of someone else's volunteer effort.

Volunteering is an enriching experience and the rewards are as unique and personal as a person's reasons for wanting to volunteer.

However, many people volunteer just for the plain fun of it!
