Orientation to International Services (OIS) presents the historical roots of the American Red Cross and the organization's identity as part of 
the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and it's involvement in humanitarian relief efforts around the globe. For those who wish to continue learning about the Red Cross, there is an overview of three additional courses: international humanitarian law (IHL), tracing and other international social services (ISS) and international relief and development (IRD).

Humanity in the Midst of War (International Humanitarian Law — IHL) examines legal protections for the victims of war and discusses the work of the Red Cross on their behalf. The course builds on the introduction to IHL presented in the OIS course and provides greater insight into the role of the Red Cross under international law.

International Relief and Development (IRD) addresses the role of the American Red Cross in international relief and development at home and abroad. Learn about international delegates who work overseas, in-kind donations, and how to facilitate the establishment of community-based international programs and activities, especially in times of international crises.

Tracing and Other International Social Services (ISS) provides training in the social services that reestablish family ties when individuals in local communities are cut off from their relatives by war, political tensions or disaster. This training is of particular interest to caseworkers, refugee and ethnic groups, and staff members in other agencies that work with Red Cross international services as partners in service delivery.
