Words of the President
“There is no higher calling than when a person gives his or her own
knowledge, skills, time or resources to someone in need of help or
comfort. This is the fundamental principle of volunteerism. Volunteering
is at the heart of community-building. It promotes trust and reciprocity. It
encourages good citizenship and provides people with an environment
where they can learn the responsibilities of community and civic
involvement.”
-Tadateru Konoe
President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

TestimonialsI’ve always wanted to volunteer for an organization, especially the Red Cross. It’s a well-known organization all around the world for its implication in serving people. That’s my main motivation. I’ve always wanted to serve my community as well.
Mahimpundu Ange RaissaFirst Aid Services Team
The reason I like to volunteer is I like to help out other people and I also like to make a difference. The opportunity that I saw with the Red Cross was that it would allow me to help out people, give back and make a difference. And I find that I’ve done that with the Red Cross.
David BurnsideHealth Equipment Loan Program
I’m very proud of what it stands for. I believe in the Fundamental Principles that the Red Cross stands for and I just think it’s a fantastic organization to volunteer with.
