Volunteer For the Red Cross

For over a hundred and twenty five years the Red Cross has been there when Americans need us most.  Over a million volunteers from all walks of life dedicate their time to helping those in need, regardless of race, creed or religion.  Our volunteers assist victims of disaster, provide casework services to military families, take blood pressures at one of our free clinics, teach First Aid and CPR classes, perform office and clerical duties, or help out at one of our many events throughout the year.  But no matter what our volunteers do, our goal is the same; to make our community a better, safer place to live.

The Red Cross has many different areas of service and volunteer openings. The first step in becoming a volunteer for the Mid-Dakota Chapter is to review the list of opportunities on this page, and then submit your request by filling out the volunteer interest form here.

   Disaster Volunteer

Volunteers provide emergency assistance to families and emergency workers during local or national disasters. The Disaster Action Team (DAT) is on call on a rotating schedule to respond to emergency situations whenever disaster strikes in the Chapter service area. Emergency response provides opportunities to assist people form various economic and ethnic backgrounds in a time of need. Volunteers can also join our Disaster Services Human Resources (DSHR) team that travel to national disasters throughout the US (such as hurricane Katrina).
