Opportunity Details
Disaster Volunteers - Red Cross
Every day, the American Red Cross sees the heartbreak of people trying to cope with more intense storms, heavier rainfall, higher temperatures, stronger hurricanes, and more devastating wildfires.
As more people rely on the Red Cross for help, the need for compassionate volunteers is greater than ever.
You can help comfort and support people who are forced from their homes due to fires, storms, and other emergencies, so they don’t have to face tough times alone. Join us and turn your compassion into action by becoming a volunteer today. We are actively recruiting for these important volunteer roles and there are many others to choose from.
Shelter and/or Feeding Team - During large disasters, you can support the day-to-day activities within a shelter which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other areas within a shelter. Free online training will be provided. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4-12 hours each. For those able to travel outside of their local area, a commitment of at least 14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required.
Information & Planning Team - Assist in gathering assessment and operational data required for effective management of a disaster response, including information about the scope of the disaster and the effectiveness of the response. Free online training will be provided. A commitment of at least 14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required for this role.
