Have you or anyone you know ever wanted to volunteer for the American Red Cross?

The American Red Cross of South Florida is urgently looking for shelter volunteers and it needs your help. Please accept this invitation to learn more about how you can help the Red Cross care for people in the community when disaster strikes.

The train-in-a-day event allows volunteers to complete the basic steps to become qualified for their disaster role – all in one day. Training will consist of a brief general overview of our organization, followed by sheltering courses which teach the full cycle of Red Cross sheltering operations. You’ll walk out as a Red Cross Disaster Responder, able to be deployed locally or nationally.

The training sessions will be held on Saturday, Aug. 26, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Red Cross chapter offices located in Miami and Fort Myers.
