Participants will learn how to respond to local emergencies, assist families on their most difficult days, and provide immediate support following disasters.
No prior experience is required — only compassion and a willingness to help others.
The Red Cross encourages anyone interested in making a difference in their community to register because when a home fire or local disaster strikes, families need support right away. Oftentimes, that help comes from trained volunteers who step in to provide care, comfort and immediate relief.
