As our services to the community continue to grow, so do our needs for volunteers. Please consider becoming a part of the Red Cross volunteer team if you aren t already. The Greater Carolinas Chapter always has many rewarding volunteer opportunities, included below. This service provides a variety of first aid, safety and health education courses designed to teach the community the skills necessary to prevent and respond to emergency situations. Current Red Cross First Aid and CPR required or current EMT license.
Instructors go through extensive training to be as prepared as possible.
This is a sizeable time commitment. Training can take up to 30 hours depending on the course you want to teach. All instructors are required to teach a minimum number of times a year depending on the specific instructor course. The ARC is mandated by Congress to provide emergency assistance to victims of disaster. Opportunities to go beyond the local chapter.
