How Much Time Do You Have to Volunteer?

People volunteer in many different ways and for different lengths of time. Whether you volunteer a few hours a month, once a year, or volunteer on an ongoing basis, whatever time you give will be useful and appreciated.

Consider these options:

Helping with One-time Events
Volunteer to help with a project requiring many helpers on one particular day such as a holiday function, a fund-raiser or a mass training event. You can be of real help while getting a sense of how our organization works, who else volunteers and how you fit in. You can volunteer to test the waters and then follow up on your own, or better yet, bring a friend!

Short-term Projects
Chapters often need someone to tackle a specific project that, with a little extra attention, that are completed in a designated timeframe. "Short-term" therefore can vary from a few full days to several hours a month for a few months. Again, the possibilities are limitless: updating a booklet or manual, installing or programming computers, Web site work, teaching a skill to others, translating materials into another language, donating your professional expertise as a consultant on some project.

Ongoing Commitments
Once you know that you want to volunteer in a substantial way, you can offer your time on a regular schedule, weekly or monthly, for a specific length of time, renewing or changing as you progress in your Red Cross volunteer career. This allows you to volunteer for lengthier assignments to contribute to our community; and for both you and the Red Cross to fully benefit from any training provided by the Red Cross.

 Don't wait another day!
