The Heart of Our Mission.
At the Red Cross, volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. They are the helping hands that deliver aid, the comforting voices that bring hope, and the faces that represent our Movement in communities around the world. Without volunteers, the Red Cross would be only an idea, our volunteers make it a living force for good.
What Makes a Red Cross Volunteer.
Passion for Humanity:
Our volunteers are driven by compassion and a genuine desire to help others. Their reward comes from making a real difference, bringing comfort, care, and hope to those in need. This passion fuels their strength, perseverance, and positivity, even in the most challenging situations.
Commitment to Our Fundamental Principles:
Every Red Cross volunteer upholds our seven Fundamental Principles: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality. These principles guide our actions and ensure that every service we deliver is ethical, inclusive, and impactful.
Dedication to Learning and Growth:
The humanitarian landscape is always evolving. Our volunteers embrace continuous learning, enhancing their skills in first aid, disaster response, psychological support, and leadership. By staying informed and adaptable, they’re always ready to respond effectively when and where they’re needed most.
Teamwork and Resilience:
Red Cross volunteers thrive in diverse teams, united by a shared purpose. Whether in disaster zones or community outreach, they work together calmly and compassionately, making sound decisions under pressure and delivering assistance with humanity at heart.
