Become a Leader With The Red Cross!

Do you have leadership potential? Do you go along to get along, or do you cut your own path and leave it open for others to follow? If you think you've got what it takes, prove it by doing what needs to be done to help others...volunteer.

The Red Cross needs you. If you are more than capable of taking care of yourself, then you have the ability to volunteer. If you fit into this category, talk to us. You may be the one to lead your generation into the volunteer movement not because it looks good, but because it actually feels good. This challenge is not for the weak-hearted.

Get involved today. You can opt for a position as outlined below, or your idea for a new volunteer opportunity.
