of others!
Volunteers are the heart of the American Red Cross. We depend on 1.4

As a Red Cross volunteer, you can serve meals to disaster victims, or
help at a special event fundraiser. You can teach CPR, or provide
emergency communication for military families.

your life now for this kind of commitment?

for volunteers who possess certain skills/characteristics. Having these
skills/characteristics will make for a successful volunteer experience.

yourself…
A team player?
A good
communicator?
Able to handle stressful situations?
Able to take initiative?
4. Volunteering
with our organization means that you will be working with people of different
ages, socioeconomic, cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, and educational
backgrounds.
Are you comfortable
being with people who are different from yourself?
5. The American
Red Cross has seven Fundamental principles. One of these is neutrality.
Are you able to
keep your personal, religious & political beliefs separate from your role as a
volunteer?
