A good way to begin is through our own personal knowledge and commitment. People often ask us basic questions about the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross is an integral part of an international humanitarian movement. Through the Leage of Red Cross and Red Cross Crescent Socieites and the International Committee of the Red Cross, we help serve people worldwide during times of crises. The mission of the American Red Cross is to improve the quality of human life and enhance individual self-reliance and concern for others.
Personal commitment is essential.
As Red Cross people, we must be committed to the American Red Cross itself, the people we serve, and each other. Make sure everyone who comes in contact with the Red Cross feels welcome. Listen and respond sensitvely to the people we serve. Provide quality services and programs. Make that extra effort that shows people we care.
