Red Cross: Train and Prepare
Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguished itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering.
<br><br>There are many different volunteer roles within a chapter. One example is within Emergency Services. Disaster volunteers train and prepare to coordinate and implement relief efforts. Some volunteers participate at a national level, but their primary focus is their own community. At a moments notice, they leave their daily life to help those in need, helping people to rebuild their lives.
