The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

Description:
The Red Cross needs your help! As a volunteer you can serve the local community needs of the 17 towns we serve. You can help by preparing people for disasters, raising money for disaster relief, teaching courses in CPR and First Aid, organizing programs for the elderly and for youth, and much more!

Red Cross volunteers work as a team to deliver its services to the communities. They take many leadership positions by serving on the Boards of Directors and helping direct departments. They have opportunities to develop new skills and learn new programs.

Be a Red Cross volunteer! Helping others feels good, and helps you feel good about yourself. The NH Gateway Chapter can work with you to provide rewarding experiences, opportunities to utilize your talents,and the training to help you serve your community.
